* Univariate analysis performed with Mann–Whitney U-tests (by cooperative-group-sponsorship, industry-sponsorship, trial success, primary endpoint, line of therapy, and study design) and Kruskal–Wallis tests (by treatment modality, disease site, and enrollment region). Trial success refers to trials where the primary endpoint was met. Treatment modality refers to the primary intervention as part of trial randomization. Chemotherapy generally includes cytotoxic agents, whereas targeted therapy includes monoclonal antibodies, small-molecule inhibitors, and similar. § Other disease site trials include single-disease site trials of head and neck, gynecologic, and skin malignancies, as well as trials allowing multiple disease sites. ^ Primary endpoint divided into nonsurrogate and surrogate endpoints; nonsurrogate endpoints include direct measures of quantity or quality of life (such as overall survival), or direct disease-related outcomes (such as disease-free survival). Surrogate endpoints include radiographic or pathologic endpoints (primarily progression-free survival and pathology or radiographic response rates).
