Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Qualified Responders population included all randomized patients with: Histological diagnosis of cancer of cervix; No previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy; Presence of bidimensionally measurable disease, at least 2 cm in diameter; Treatment with at least one dose of study chemotherapy. Patients were analyzed according to treatment assigned.
