CONVERT: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

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

Concurrent once-daily versus twice-daily chemoradiotherapy in patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (CONVERT): an open-label, phase 3, randomised, superiority trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Overall survival

From figure panel A · validated against the values printed on the figure · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Twice-daily 29.5 months; Once-daily 25.0 months. Survival at 18 months: Twice-daily 67%; Once-daily 61%. Hazard ratio Twice-daily vs Once-daily 0.85 (95% CI 0.69–1.05).
