Overall survival
From figure panel · validated against the values printed on the figure · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model
Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: EC + mFOLFOX6 not reached; SOC 14.6 months. Survival at 6 months: EC + mFOLFOX6 92%; SOC 87%. Hazard ratio EC + mFOLFOX6 vs SOC 0.46 (95% CI 0.31–0.68).
| Arm | N | Events | Median (Months) |
|---|---|---|---|
| EC + mFOLFOX6 | 236 | 40 | not reached |
| SOC | 243 | 73 | 14.6 |
- EC + mFOLFOX6 vs SOC: reconstructed HR 0.46 (95% CI 0.31–0.68)
Landmark survival (reconstructed)
| Time | EC + mFOLFOX6 | SOC |
