Temozolomide, an oral alkylating agent, appeared to be similar to IV dacarbazine in a randomized phase III trial with a primary end point of OS. However, because the trial was designed to demonstrate the superiority of temozolomide, which was not achieved, the trial was left with a sample size that was inadequate to provide statistical proof of noninferiority.[34]
