Metformin or placebo was continued as maintenance therapy after completion of PC until disease progression. The primary endpoint of phase II was progression-free survival (PFS).

The phase II study deemed metformin worthy of further investigation in the phase III study. The interim phase III analysis stopped accrual for futility on 2/1/2018. The addition of metformin to PC had a slightly higher hazard of death compared to the PC regimen (HR = 1.088; 90% CI 0.803 to 1.475), which was sufficient to close the study early. The PFS had (HR = 0.814; 90% CI 0.635 to 1.043).
