The primary analysis of the INTELLANCE 2 study with a median follow-up of 14.4 months (199 subjects had died) showed a trend of longer survival for the combination regimen versus the standard treatment: the 12m-OS rate was 39.7% versus 28.2%, respectively, with a p value of 0.06 (HR = 0.71, 95% CI, 0.50–1.02); in the subsequent long-term analysis with a median follow-up of 28.7 months (237 patients had died), the OS difference between the two arms became statistically significant: the 2-year survival in the combination arm was 19.8% versus 5.2% in the control arm ( p = 0.017; HR = 0.66, 95% CI, 0.47–0.93).
Kendall’s tau paired correlation coefficients (Statistica, version 13.5) between qPCR expression data for stomach, jejunum, ileum, proximal and distal colon, and microarray DM fold change data showed that 15 of the 16 correlation coefficients were positive at p < 0.05 and one correlation coefficient (microarray DM FC vs stomach qPCR) is positive, but it is borderline significant ( Table S10B ).
Furthermore, our assumption that asbestos consumption in earlier periods was equal to that estimated for 1946 has to be considered a limitation of the study, according to the plausibility of an increasing trend between 1920–1946, although including a linear increasing trend for the period 1881–1946 does not significantly affect model forecasts ( Figure S2 , model A4).
