Vidaza 5 days or 7 days

Hi RogerJ,
Here is a study about 3 different dosing schedules of Vidaza (Azacitidine). The overall treatment response rates varied according to dosing: 58% in the 5 days group and 74% in the 7 days group.

I don’t really understand how they get the different results but I suppose that the researchers know better than I do how to add the figures .

Then I have seen older studies where they found better results with 5 days dosing.
Kind regards
