The 15 patients with progressive, refractory, or recurrent solid tumours (7 melanoma, 4 colon cancer, and 1 of each of the following: soft tissue sarcoma; GIST, that is, gastrointestinal stromal cell tumour; prostate cancer; and pancreatic cancer) were enrolled between 27 April 2009 and 18 March 2011, at which time enrolment was closed.
Variables were generated to examine the differential effect of recorded exposures over time (enrolment vs follow-up).
The new figures show that, at the same time, enrolments grew from 57,400 in 2012 to 320,400 in 2015.
