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.

Abstract

purposeNew therapies are needed for relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This phase 1b, open-label trial evaluated two anti-CD20-based triplet combinations.

methodsPatients with R/R follicular lymphoma (FL; n = 13) were treated with obinutuzumab, atezolizumab, and polatuzumab vedotin (G-atezo-pola; 1.4 mg/kg/1.8 mg/kg) and patients with R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; n = 23) received rituximab (R)-atezo-pola. The primary efficacy endpoint was complete response (CR) at end of induction (EOI) by PET-CT (investigator assessed; modified Lugano 2014 criteria). Safety endpoints were also assessed.

results13 FL patients were treated and evaluable for safety; 2/23 DLBCL patients did not receive treatment and were not included in the safety population. Median observation time was 23.3 and 5.7 months in the FL and DLBCL cohorts, respectively. At EOI, CR rates in FL patients treated with G-atezo-pola at pola doses of 1.4 mg/kg (N = 3) and 1.8 mg/kg (N = 7) were 33% and 14%, respectively. In DLBCL patients receiving R-atezo-pola, the CR rate at EOI was 13%. In the FL cohort, 62% of patients experienced a grade 3-5 adverse event (AE; including two deaths) and 31% developed a serious AE (SAE). In DLBCL patients, R-atezo-pola was associated with a lower incidence of grade 3-5 AEs (24%; one death) and SAEs (10%). In both cohorts, the most common grade 3-5 AEs were hematologic toxicities.

conclusionBased on these safety issues, considered as related specifically to G-atezo-pola, and limited efficacy, no further development of either combination is planned.
