The overall response rate was 29% for<br />
CAF versus 28% for CAF plus LV. The<br />
median time to treatment failure (9<br />
months) and median survival (1.7 years)<br />
did not differ by treatment arm. The two<br />
study arms were similar <strong>with</strong> regard to<br />
serious adverse events.<br />
Cont<strong>in</strong>uation of CMF had a significantly<br />
longer time to treatment failure (TTF) 5.2<br />
versus 3.5 months (P=0.011). There was<br />
no overall survival (OS) difference 14.0<br />
versus 14.4 months (P=0.77). Mean qualityadjusted<br />
survival time was equal to 8.4<br />
months for no further treatment and<br />
decreased to 7.9 months for cont<strong>in</strong>uation<br />
of CMF (95%CI of difference equals 0.5-2.5<br />
months).<br />
