In advanced, progressive pNET
AFINITOR more than doubled median PFS vs placebo1,2


- AFINITOR extended median PFS in patients with advanced, progressive pNET by more than 6 months (P<0.001)1,2
- Treatment with AFINITOR resulted in a 65% reduction in risk of progression or death (HR=0.35; 95% CI: 0.27-0.45; P<0.001)1,2

Final OS results from RADIANT-3
- 44.0-month median OS in patients treated with AFINITOR compared to 37.7 months for the placebo/crossover arm; not statistically significant but clinically meaningful3
- (AFINITOR arm, 95% CI: 35.61-51.75. Placebo arm, 95% CI: 29.14-45.77. HR=0.94. 95% CI: 0.73-1.20. Log-rank P=0.300)3
- Crossover to AFINITOR by 85% of the patients initially randomized to the placebo arm may have confounded the comparative analysis3
- Despite an 85% crossover, AFINITOR demonstrated a clinically meaningful 6.3-month median improvement of OS3
