AE: adverse event; ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; BSC: best supportive care; GEM/DOC: gemcitabine + docetaxel; SE: standard error.
SE on Freeman-Tukey transformation scale.
Note: if there is no information on AE then probability [SE] is assumed to be the same as placebo in PALETTE.
