pubmed:abstractText |
In a randomised study (GM301; dacarbazine with/without oblimersen), patients with advanced melanoma were stratified based on performance status, metastatic site and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Progression-free survival and response and durable response rates showed a highly significant difference favouring dacarbazine-oblimersen and a nearly significant survival difference. All efficacy parameters significantly favoured dacarbazine-oblimersen in patients with normal baseline LDH [1.1xupper limit of normal (ULN)]. Each stratification factor was assessed for an interaction with treatment on survival and an interaction was detected only for LDH.
