KHBO1401-MITSUBA: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

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

Randomized phase III study of gemcitabine, cisplatin plus S-1 versus gemcitabine, cisplatin for advanced biliary tract cancer (KHBO1401- MITSUBA). Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

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: Gemcitabine and cisplatin plus S-1 13.4 months; Gemcitabine and cisplatin 12.7 months. Survival at 12 months: Gemcitabine and cisplatin plus S-1 59%; Gemcitabine and cisplatin 53%. Hazard ratio Gemcitabine and cisplatin plus S-1 vs Gemcitabine and cisplatin 0.78 (95% CI 0.59–1.02).
