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.

Abstract

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have proven activity in hematologic malignancies, and their FDA approval in multiple myeloma (MM) and T-cell lymphoma highlights the need for further development of this drug class. We investigated AR-42, an oral pan-HDACi, in a first-in-man phase 1 dose escalation clinical trial. Overall, treatment was well tolerated, no DLTs were evident, and the MTD was defined as 40 mg dosed three times weekly for three weeks of a 28-day cycle. One patient each with MM and mantle cell lymphoma demonstrated disease control for 19 and 27 months (ongoing), respectively. Treatment was associated with reduction of serum CD44, a transmembrane glycoprotein associated with steroid and immunomodulatory drug resistance in MM. Our findings indicate that AR-42 is safe and that further investigation of AR-42 in combination regimens for the treatment of patients with lymphoma and MM is warranted.
