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 />
