The median follow-up was 48 mo. DFS was not superior for BCG + MM versus BCG alone (2-yr DFS rate: 75% vs 71%; hazard ratio 0.87, 95% confidence interval 0.65–1.16; <em>p</em> = 0.3). The numbers of events for BCG + MM versus BCG alone were as follows: 214 versus 210 (CR3mos), 79 versus 86 (recurrence), 28 versus 44 (progression), and 26 versus 23 (death).
