Percentage of Patients With Occurrence of Severe Bleeding and/or Liver Failure
5.88 percentage of participants
Interval 0.72 to 19.68
2.78 percentage of participants
Interval 0.07 to 14.53

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From randomization until death or last news for alive patients, up to 3 years

Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death (from any cause). Patients lost to follow-up or alive at the time of analysis are censored at the last news date or the point date. This time is used to calculate the median follow-up time.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From randomization until the date of first progression (clinical or radiological) or death from any cause whichever came first

Disease-free survival is defined as the time interval between randomization and local or distant relapse or second cancer or death (all causes). Alive patients are censored at the last follow-up.
