FURVA: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

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

Fulvestrant plus vandetanib versus placebo for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer resistant to aromatase inhibitor therapy (FURVA): a multicentre, Phase 2, randomised controlled trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Progression-free survival

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

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Fulvestrant plus vandetanib 5.5 months; Fulvestrant plus placebo 5.6 months. Survival at 18 months: Fulvestrant plus vandetanib 20%; Fulvestrant plus placebo 16%. Hazard ratio Fulvestrant plus vandetanib vs Fulvestrant plus placebo 0.85 (95% CI 0.61–1.18).
