The reported data also indicated a 59% probability that responding patients would maintain a complete response for more than 12 months, based on Kaplan-Meier analysis. These results are associated with a 95% confidence interval; 43.1% and 71.2%. Patients who exhibited a complete response within the first three months of the treatment reported a CR rate of 77%. This is in conjunction with a 61% probability of remaining disease free at 18 months.
