CEPHEUS: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

Updated 2026-09-25 · reconstructed by TrialCurve from a CC BY-licensed publication

Daratumumab plus bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone for transplant-ineligible or transplant-deferred newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: the randomized phase 3 CEPHEUS trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Progression-free survival — Intention-to-treat population

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: D-VRd not reached; VRd 52.5 months. Survival at 18 months: D-VRd 86%; VRd 82%. Hazard ratio D-VRd vs VRd 0.58 (95% CI 0.42–0.81).

Overall survival — Intention-to-treat population

From figure panel · curves cross-checked by two independent readings · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: D-VRd not reached; VRd not reached. Survival at 18 months: D-VRd 87%; VRd 89%. Hazard ratio VRd vs D-VRd 1.13 (95% CI 0.78–1.65).
