1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimsIndisulam and carboplatin have shown synergistic activity in preclinical studies. In a dose escalation study of the combination, a treatment delay was frequently required in a 3-weekly regimen to allow recovery from myelosuppression from previous cycles. A 4-weekly regimen was better tolerated, but had a decreased dose-intensity which may compromise efficacy. The aims of this study were (i) to develop a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model to describe the myelosuppressive effect of the combination, and (ii) to use this model to select a dosing regimen for Phase II evaluation.

methodsSixteen patients were treated at four different dose levels of indisulam (1-h infusion on day 1) and carboplatin (30-min infusion on day 2). Pharmacokinetic data were analysed with nonlinear mixed effects modelling. A semiphysiological model describing chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression characterized the relationship between the pharmacokinetics and the haematological toxicity of indisulam and carboplatin. A simulation study was performed to evaluate the tolerability and dose-intensity for 3-weekly and 4-weekly treatment regimens.

resultsThe PK-PD model described the pharmacokinetics and the myelosuppressive effect of indisulam and carboplatin. The risk of a treatment delay at cycle 2 due to myelosuppression was unacceptably high (34-65%) in a 3-weekly regimen for various dose levels (350-600 mg m(-2) indisulam in combination with carboplatin to achieve an AUC of 4-6 mg min(-1) ml(-1)). This risk was acceptable for a 4-weekly regimen (9-24%), which is in line with the clinical study results.

conclusionsThis PK-PD study supports the selection of indisulam 500 mg m(-2) and a dose of carboplatin to achieve an AUC of 6 mg min(-1) ml(-1) in a 4-weekly regimen as the recommended dose for future studies.
