RELAY, ramucirumab plus erlotinib versus placebo plus erlotinib in untreated EGFR-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer: exposure-response relationship.
Trial report in Cancer chemotherapy and pharmacology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02411448 (A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Erlotinib in Combination With Ramucirumab or Placebo in Previously Untreated Patients With EGFR Mutation-Positive Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
purposeIn RELAY, ramucirumab plus erlotinib (RAM + ERL) improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with untreated, metastatic, EGFR-mutated, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we present the exposure-response relationship of RAM from RELAY.
methodsPatients received ERL (150 mg/day) with either RAM (10 mg/kg) or placebo (PBO + ERL) every 2 weeks (Q2W). A population pharmacokinetic model predicted RAM minimum concentration after first dose (C
resultsAnalyses included 216 patients treated with RAM + ERL and 225 patients treated with PBO + ERL. Adjusting for significant baseline covariates, no exposure-efficacy relationship was identified in RELAY: PFS hazard ratio (mean, 95% confidence intervals) for the C
conclusionsNo association was observed between RAM exposure and response, suggesting that the RELAY regimen of RAM 10 mg/kg Q2W with ERL is an optimized, efficacious, and safe first-line treatment for patients with untreated, metastatic, EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
