Although the two different paclitaxel posologies were not compared with each other directly, in both trials patients treated with paclitaxel in combination with cisplatin had a significantly longer time to progression (Study 1: median 15.3 months vs 11.5 months, p < 0.001; Study 2: median 17 months vs 13 months, p < 0.001), and longer survival time (Study 1: median 36 months vs 26 months, p= 0.0016; Study 2: median 36 months vs 24 months, p < 0.001), and in Study 1 a significantly higher response rate (Study 1:
