Clinical pharmacology of an atrasentan and docetaxel regimen in men with hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
Article in Cancer chemotherapy and pharmacology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 conducted to evaluate potential pharmacokinetic interactions between docetaxel and atrasentan as part of a phase I/II clinical trial.
methodsPatients with prostate cancer were treated with intravenous docetaxel (60-75 mg/m(2)) every 3 weeks and oral atrasentan (10 mg) daily starting on day 3 of cycle 1 and then given continuously. The pharmacokinetics of both drugs were evaluated individually (cycle 1, day 1 for docetaxel; day 21 for atrasentan) and in combination (cycle 2, day 1 for both drugs). Pharmacogenomics of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) were also explored.
resultsPaired pharmacokinetic data sets for both drugs were evaluable in 21 patients. Atrasentan was rapidly absorbed and plasma concentrations varied over a fourfold range at steady state within a typical patient. The median apparent oral clearance of atrasentan was 17.4 L/h in cycle 1 and was not affected by docetaxel administration (p = 0.9). Median systemic clearance of docetaxel was 51.1 L/h on the first cycle and significantly slower (p = 0.01) compared with that obtained during co-administration of atrasentan, 61.6 L/h. Docetaxel systemic clearance in cycle 1 was 70.0 L/h in patients homozygous for a variant allele in AAG compared with 44.5 L/h in those with at least one wild-type allele (p = 0.03).
conclusionGenetic polymorphism in AAG may explain some inter-patient variability in docetaxel pharmacokinetics. The systemic clearance of docetaxel is increased by approximately 21 % when given concomitantly with atrasentan; however, atrasentan pharmacokinetics does not appear to be influenced by docetaxel administration.
