Phase I dose escalation study of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx) in combination with topotecan in patients with advanced malignancies.
Trial report in Investigational new drugs, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aims of this study were to determine the toxicity profile and the recommended dose of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx) in combination with topotecan in patients with advanced malignancies. Caelyx: 35 (DLI) or 40 (DLII) mg/m2/d1 was followed by 0.5 mg/m2/d topotecan daily for 5 days, every 4 weeks. Twenty-three patients received a total of 82 cycles. At DLII, 2/6 patients experienced dose-limiting toxicity consisting of grade 4 neutropenia lasting for more than 7 days and febrile neutropenia. At DLI, 4/18 and 2/18 patients presented febrile neutropenia and grade 4 sustained neutropenia, respectively. Non-hematological toxicities were mild to moderate. One patient with ovarian cancer presented a complete response. The hematological toxicity was a dose limiting factor that led to the recommended dose of 35 mg/m2 Caelyx on day 1 with 0.5 mg/m2/d topotecan on days 1-5. This study results suggest that alternative schedules of this combination are required.
