Overview of number of studies and patients available for primary and secondary analyses.

Progression-free survivalOverall survival

Primary endpoint trials ( pts) trials ( pts)

Secondary endpoint: PFS/OS subgroup analyses
 Gender (male/female) = 4 trials ( = 3,017 pts) = 3 trials ( = 2,651 pts)
 Age (cut-off 65 years) = 4 trials ( = 2,835 pts) = 3 trials ( = 2,651 pts)
 ECOG status (0 versus ≥1) = 4 trials ( = 2,825 pts) = 3 trials ( = 2,641 pts)
 KRAS status (WT/MUT) = 4 trials ( = 2,545 pts) = 3 trials ( = 2,417 pts)

Secondary endpoint: remission/progression analyses
 Remission rate = 5 trials ( = 3,199 pts)
 Progression rate = 4 trials ( = 2,826 pts)
 Prevention of progression rate = 4 trials ( = 2,652 pts)
