STAMPEDE (radiotherapy to the primary tumor): reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves

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

Radiotherapy to the primary tumour for newly diagnosed, metastatic prostate cancer (STAMPEDE): a randomised controlled phase 3 trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Overall survival

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

Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Radiotherapy 48.0 months; Control 45.7 months. Survival at 18 months: Radiotherapy 87%; Control 84%. Hazard ratio Radiotherapy vs Control 0.92 (95% CI 0.80–1.06).
