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

This phase I study was designed to: (1) determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended dose (RD) of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor futibatinib in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors, and (2) examine the antitumor activity of the RD in patients with gastric cancer (GC) or other advanced solid tumors who have FGFR or FGF/FGFR abnormalities, respectively. In the dose-escalation phase, patients were assigned to 21-day cycles of oral futibatinib 8-160 mg three times a week (TIW) or 16 or 20 mg once daily (QD). In the expansion phase, patients received oral futibatinib 56, 80, or 120 mg TIW, or 16 or 20 mg QD. Eighty-three patients received futibatinib TIW (n = 40) or QD (n = 43). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed according to the final study protocol definition, and the MTD was not reached. The most common adverse events with both regimens were hyperphosphatemia (TIW, 82.5%; QD, 100.0%) and decreased appetite (TIW, 40.0%; QD, 58.1%). Hyperphosphatemia was asymptomatic, not leading to futibatinib discontinuation. The overall response rate (ORR) was 11.5% in patients with FGF/FGFR abnormalities. Notably, in GC patients harboring FGFR2 copy number (CN) ≥10, the ORR was 36.4% versus 0 in patients with CN <10. Therefore, futibatinib had a generally predictable and manageable safety profile in patients with advanced solid tumors. Antitumor activity was seen in patients with FGF/FGFR abnormalities, particularly those with GC and high FGFR2 CNs. Thus, futibatinib 20 mg QD was chosen as the RD for phase II studies.
