In plain words
What these results mean for people, not percentages
Objective response rate at week 25primaryresponse endpoint
- 40 vs 0 out of 100 had their tumour shrink with Vimseltinib compared with Placebo; 40 more per 100.
- Roughly one extra person helped for every 3 treated. That is a rough figure taken from the two percentages, not a guarantee for any one person.
- The p-value (<0.0001) says a difference this large would rarely happen by chance; it does not say how large or how useful the difference is.
- A response rate counts how many people had their tumours shrink by a set amount; shrinking is encouraging but does not by itself show that people live longer or feel better.
- These results apply to the people the trial enrolled: Symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumour not amenable to surgery: vimseltinib vs placebo. People in a different situation may not see the same effect.
