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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Over 50% of breast tumors harbor alterations in one or more genes of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway including PIK3CA mutations (31%), PTEN loss (34%), PTEN mutations (5%) and AKT1 mutations (3%). While PI3K and mTOR inhibitors are already approved in advanced breast cancer, AKT inhibitors have been recently developed as a new therapeutic approach. Capivasertib (AZD5363) is a novel, selective ATP-competitive pan-AKT kinase inhibitor that exerts similar activity against the three AKT isoforms, AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3. Preclinical studies demonstrated efficacy of capivasertib in breast cancer cell lines as a single agent or in combination with anti-HER2 agents and endocrine treatment, especially in tumors with PIK3CA or MTOR alterations. Phase I/II studies demonstrated greater efficacy when capivasertib was co-administered with paclitaxel, fulvestrant in hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer or olaparib. The recommended phase II dose of capivasertib as monotherapy was 480 mg bid on a 4-days-on, 3-days-off dosing schedule. Toxicity profile proved to be manageable with hyperglycemia (20-24%), diarrhea (14-17%) and maculopapular rash (11-16%) being the most common grade ≥3 adverse events. Ongoing Phase III trials of capivasertib in combination with fulvestrant (CAPItello-291), CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib (CAPItello-292) and paclitaxel (CAPItello- 290) will better clarify the therapeutic role of capivasertib in breast cancer.
