Trial Outcomes & Findings for MK-3475 as Maintenance Therapy in Extensive Stage SCLC (NCT NCT02359019)

NCT ID: NCT02359019

Last Updated: 2022-10-14

Results Overview

Progression is defined using RECIST 1.1. PFS will be estimated with the standard Kaplan-Meier method, from which summary statistics of interest (median, 1-year rate, etc.) will be derived. Both point and 95% confidence interval estimates of PFS will be calculated.
