NRG-HN004: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves
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.

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Radiotherapy plus cetuximab 3.2 years; Radiotherapy plus durvalumab 2.2 years. Survival at 1 years: Radiotherapy plus cetuximab 71%; Radiotherapy plus durvalumab 64%. Hazard ratio Radiotherapy plus cetuximab vs Radiotherapy plus durvalumab 0.75 (95% CI 0.48–1.18).
