ESCAPE (metastatic renal cell carcinoma): reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

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

Efficacy and Safety of First-Line Cytokines versus Sunitinib and Second-Line Axitinib for Patients with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (ESCAPE Study): A Phase III, Randomized, Sequential Open-Label Study. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

2nd-line progression-free survival

From figure panel B · validated against the values printed on the figure · curve source: vision model

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Sunitinib 3.8 months; IL-2+IFNα 15.3 months. Survival at 12 months: Sunitinib 40%; IL-2+IFNα 61%. Hazard ratio IL-2+IFNα vs Sunitinib 0.58 (95% CI 0.19–1.76).

1st-line (+ 2nd-line) progression-free survival — Including cases who did not receive 2nd-line treatment

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

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: IL-2+IFNα 30.3 months; Sunitinib 28.6 months. Survival at 18 months: IL-2+IFNα 71%; Sunitinib 68%. Hazard ratio IL-2+IFNα vs Sunitinib 0.89 (95% CI 0.29–2.77).
