Participant Flow

Patients were recruited at 2 Canadian cancer clinics between October 2004 and October 2007.

Following enrolment there was a 7 - 28 day screening period, after which if all inclusion/exclusion criteria were met, patients were randomized to treatment. Following objective disease progression on randomized treatment (Period 1), subjects were encouraged to crossover to the other treatment (Period 2).
