- The therapies used included DNA synthesis inhibitors (5-FU, gemcitabine), a DNA alkylating agent (oxaliplatin), a DNA intercalating agent (liposomal doxorubicin), a topoisomerase inhibitor (irinotecan), an EGFR inhibitor (erlotinib), a c-kit inhibitor (imatinib) and an angiogenesis inhibitor (bevacizumab). Therapies were delivered as indicated and tumor growth was continually observed after treatment regimen ceased in order to determine time-to-endpoint (TTE) and difference between median TTE of treated groups vs. placebo (T-C). Statistical significance was evaluated by logrank test, df = 1 with significance indicated by * and non-significance (ns) or not evaluable (ne). Body weight (BW) nadir was shown as percent change and deaths were divided into treatment-related deaths (TR) and non-treatment related deaths (NTR). The final sample size (n) was calculated by removing NTR deaths
-
n number of animals in a group not dead from accidental or unknown causes, or euthanized for sampling, TTE time to endpoint, T-C difference between median TTE (days) of treated group versus control group, TR treatment-related death, NTR non-treatment-related death, Mean BW Nadir lowest group mean body weight, as  % change from day 1, ne not evaluable, ns not significant
- Statistical significance (Logrank test, df = 1): * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, compared to Group 1
