Complete response after rechallenge with trabectedin in a patient with previously responding high-grade undifferentiated sarcoma.

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
Evidence supporting rechallenge in patients responding to first exposure to trabectedin is limited. We report on a 39-year-old woman with advanced high-grade undifferentiated sarcoma (US) retreated twice with trabectedin after first response. The patient presented in June 2006 with an abdominal mass originating from the rear fascia of the rectus abdominis. Staging examinations did not indicate metastases and she underwent surgery; pathology showed a high-grade (FNCLCC G3) US. Subsequently, the patient received five cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin and ifosfamide. In February 2009 a computed tomography (CT) scan showed an abdominal mass involving the transverse mesocolon. R0 surgery was performed. In September 2009, peritoneal lesions appeared. Trabectedin was initiated at a dose of 1.5 mg/m by a 24 h intravenous infusion every 3 weeks, without relevant toxicity. After six cycles (March 2010), CT and PET-CT scans showed complete disappearance of metastases. In February 2012, new secondary lesions in the subdiaphragmatic region and a peritoneal lesion appeared. We rechallenged the patient with the same schedule of trabectedin; a complete response was achieved after two cycles. In October 2013, new secondary lesions in the subdiaphragmatic region and a retroperitoneal lesion were found. We rechallenged with the same schedule of trabectedin; PET-CT scans after two cycles showed complete response on the subdiaphragmatic lesion. Radiotherapy on the retroperitoneal lesion was performed. The patient underwent a total of 18 cycles and remains free from radiologically detectable disease. We report complete radiological remission after two rechallenges with trabectedin in a patient with previously responding high-grade US.
