Role of the lean body mass and of pharmacogenetic variants on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of sunitinib in cancer patients.
Trial report in Investigational new drugs, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
introductionSunitinib is a multikinase inhibitor active in various cancers types including renal cancers and endocrine tumors. The study analyzed the influence of the lean body mass (LBM) and of pharmacogenetic variants on the exposure to sunitinib and its active metabolite, SU12662, and on sunitinib toxicity and clinical activity. MATERIALS AND
methodsExposure to sunitinib and SU12662 was assessed on days 10 and 21 during the first treatment cycle. Acute toxicity was graded using the NCI 4.0 CTCAE ver. 4.0. The LBM and 14 common single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CYP3A4/3A5, NR1I2, NR1I3, ABCB1, and ABCG2 genes were analyzed according to the drug exposure at day 10. Determinants (including sunitinib exposure and pharmacogenetic variants) for toxicities were assessed, as well as the relationship between drug exposure and survival in renal cancer patients.
resultsNinety-two patients (60 % with renal cancer) were assessable for pharmacokinetics, toxicity and survival, and 66 for genetic analysis. The LBM (p < 0.0001) and a polymorphism in the ABCG2 transporter (421C>A) (p = 0.014) were two independent parameters accounting for the variability of composite (sunitinib + SU12662) exposure. Advanced age (OR = 1.47 [1.01-2.15], p = 0.048) and high sunitinib exposure (OR = 1.16 [1.05-1.28], p = 0.005) were independently associated with any grade ≥ 3 acute toxicity, and high SU12662 exposure was associated with grade ≥ 2 thrombocytopenia (OR = 1.27 [1.03-1.57], p = 0.028). A high composite area under the curve (AUC) >1,973 ng/mL∙h at day 21 was associated with a doubled survival (35.2 vs 16.7 months; log-rank p = 0.0051) in renal cancer patients.
conclusionsThis study indicates that LBM and drug monitoring may be helpful in the management of sunitinib-treated patients.
