2 Melanoma historical data summary While results from open-label, or uncontrolled, or small # center studies can vary enormously, results from published randomized, controlled studies have fallen within a tight range: PFS (Progression-Free: months (single-agent) Survival) months (combinations) Median survival: Survival at 12 months: 6 8 months (single-agent) 6 9 months (combinations) 15 35% (single-agent) 25 38% (combinations) The only result outside this range, to date in published trials, has been the biochemotherapy trial for Cisplatin + Vincristine + + IL-2 + IFNα. This five drug regimen has severe toxicities. 2
