Substantiation In de interim PFS analyse werd een verbetering van de PFS gezien in de toripalimab arm vergeleken met de placebo arm: een mediane PFS van 11,7 versus 8,0 maanden, hazard ratio (HR) = 0,52 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.36–0.74), P = 0.0003 (1). De studie is echter in China uitgevoerd en het is nog de vraag of dit ook representatief is voor de Europese bevolking.
