Pilot phase II study of metronomic chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
Trial report in Lung cancer (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
introductionThe goal of this study was to explore the efficacy and tolerability of metronomic chemotherapy, a novel anti-angiogenic treatment strategy, in combination with bevacizumab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
methodsSubjects with newly diagnosed stage IV NSCLC were treated with 4-week cycles of paclitaxel 80mg/m
resultsThirty-nine subjects were included in the intent to treat (ITT) analysis. The objective response rate (ORR) was 56%, the median PFS was 8.5 months, and median overall survival (OS) was 25.5 months. The PFS rate at 6, 12, and 24 months was 61%, 21%, and 11% respectively. The OS rate at 12 and 24 months was 74% and 53% respectively. Treatment was well tolerated, without significant myelosuppressive, gastrointestinal, or neurologic events. Subjects with less than median baseline values of angiopoietin-2 and IL-8 experienced significantly longer PFS. Longer OS was associated with subjects with less than the median baseline values for PLGF and angiopoietin-2. There were statistically significant differences in median values of several biomarkers between cycles 1 and 3 in subjects with objective responses.
conclusionsThe combination of paclitaxel and gemcitabine, delivered in a metronomic schedule, in combination with bevacizumab, appears to be an effective and tolerable treatment strategy in patients with advanced NSCLC.
