NRG-HN004: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

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

Radiotherapy with cetuximab or durvalumab for locoregionally advanced head and neck cancer in patients with a contraindication to cisplatin (NRG-HN004): an open-label, multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, phase 2/3 trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.
