Values shown are the number of patients treated as the first regimen on protocol; “%” indicates first regimen on the protocol among all patients treated with that regimen.

P values are log-rank tests of PFS comparing AZT/VGC with other KSHV-MCD regimens used that are adjusted for multiple comparisons (Bonferroni test). Patients who received (DA)EPOCH±R (8 patients) are not included in this table.
