The OVAL trial demonstrated that patients randomized to the combination of ofra-vec and paclitaxel had a median PFS of 5.29 months, versus 5.36 months for the paclitaxel control arm (HR=1.03). The interim overall survival analysis was also not significantly different between the two study arms (median OS 13.37 months in the treatment arm versus 13.14 months in the control arm; HR= 0.97) and did not support study continuation.
