Fig. 5: Combination of BV with ALKi is more effective than single agent therapy for eIMS.

Tumour growth, PPTC objective response and Kaplan–Meier survival curves for a, b diagnosis or c, d relapse eIMS xenografts treated with BV (twice weekly for six weeks IV, indicated by black vertical lines), crizotinib (daily for 28 days PO, indicated by horizontal green line) or combination, and e, f diagnosis or g, h relapse eIMS xenografts treated with BV (twice weekly for six weeks IV, indicated by black vertical lines), ceritinib (daily for 28 days PO, indicated by horizontal green line) or combination. Vehicle-control groups are three mice, treatment groups are four mice. *: Comparison of treatment group to vehicle-control group. #: Comparison of combination treatment group to 1 mg/kg BV treatment group. γ: Comparison of combination treatment group to ALKi treatment group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001 (Mantel–Cox Test). Vehicle control and single agent ALKi groups for the diagnosis xenografts are the same as presented in the combination studies in Fig. 4.
