The following 6 treatments were evaluated:(1) irinotecan(camptothecins);(2) paclitaxel(taxanes class);(3) docetaxel(taxanes);(4) everolimus(mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors);(5) ramucirumab(vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibitors);(6) ramucirumab + paclitaxel. Our methodology was based on standard models of Bayesian network meta-analysis. The reference treatment was best supportive care(BSC). The endpoint was overall survival. Median survival was the outcome measure along with 95% credible intervals. RESULTS: Our search identified a total of 7 randomized controlled trials. These trials included 2298 patients(in 15 treatment arms) in whom a total of 6 active treatments were evaluated as well as BSC. There were 21 head-to-head comparisons(6 direct, 15 indirect). The difference in survival between each of two active treatments(paclitaxel and ramucirumab + paclitaxel) vs BSC was statistically significant, while the other 4 showed no statistical difference. In the 6 head-to-head comparisons between active treatments, no significant survival difference was demonstrated. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that both paclitaxel monotherapy and ramucirumab + paclitaxel determine a significant prolongation in survival as compared with BSC.展开更多

The following conclusions are proved that Y(A, k) and H(A, ω) are Banach spaces, and both are continuously embedded in X; the restriction operator A | Y(A,k) generates a once-integrated cosine operator family { C(t) }t≥0 such that limh→0+^-1/h‖C(t+h)-C(t)‖Y(A,k)≤M(1+t)^k,arbitary t≥0; the restriction operator A |H(A,ω) generates a once- integrated cosine operator family {C(t)}t≥0 such that limh→0+^-1/h‖C(t+h)-C(t)‖H(A,ω)≤≤Me^ωt,arbitary t≥0.展开更多

文摘The problem of the chattering phenomenon is still the main drawback of the classical sliding mode control. To resolve this problem, a discrete second order sliding mode control via input-output model is proposed in this paper. The proposed control law is synthesized for decouplable multivariable systems. A robustness analysis of the proposed discrete second order sliding mode control is carried out. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
