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

purposeThis study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of ganitumab in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors.

methodsPatients were enrolled into 1 of 3 dose cohorts (6, 12, or 20 mg/kg) of single-agent ganitumab administered intravenously every 2 weeks. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was assessed for the first 28 days. The primary objectives were to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ganitumab in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors. An exploratory pharmacodynamic analysis was done to investigate the relationship between exposure and changes in the level of circulating factors in IGF1R pathway (IGFBP-3 and total IGF-1).

resultsNineteen patients with ECOG performance status 0-1 (6 in cohort 1 and 3, 7 in cohort 2) received at least 1 dose of ganitumab. Median age was 58.0 years. Tumor types included: breast (4), gastric (3), rectal (2), NSCLC (2), thymic (2), and other cancers (6). No DLTs were observed. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events were neutropenia (21 %), leukopenia (16 %) and lymphopenia (11 %). There was a trend of dose-dependency on severity of thrombocytopenia, but not on that of neutropenia. No neutralizing anti-ganitumab antibodies were detected during this study. Dose-linearity on PK of ganitumab was indicated in the dose range. Tumor response was assessed for 19 patients. Stable disease as best response was reported in 7 patients.

conclusionsGanitumab up to 20 mg/kg was tolerable in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors. The safety and PK profiles were similar to those previously observed in non-Japanese patients.
