Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

September 5, 2007: Sponsor conducted primary analysis of progression free survival. As a result of these preliminary data, participants receiving investigator choice therapy and those receiving 175/25 mg temsirolimus could cross over to receive treatment with 175/75 mg temsirolimus (Protocol Amendment 5).

Comparison: Two null hypotheses (Ho) tested: 1. PFS distributions for temsirolimus 175/75 mg and investigator's choice treatment groups are identical. 2. PFS distributions for temsirolimus 175/25 mg and investigator's choice treatment groups are identical. Alternative hypothesis (Ha) for each test was that PFS distributions differed.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [0.25, 0.63]Log Rank
