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.

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

The pharmacometric analysis of the double-blind, randomized, phase II study (NCT02975349) investigating the safety and efficacy of evobrutinib, explored exposure-response relationships and suitable dosing regimens of evobrutinib for relapsing multiple sclerosis. Population pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic modeling was applied to data collected in fasted patients treated with placebo or evobrutinib (25 mg once-daily [q.d.], 75 mg q.d., or 75 mg twice-daily [b.i.d.]) for 24 weeks, followed by a 24-week blinded extension (placebo patients switched to 25 mg q.d.). Model-based exposures for PK and Bruton's tyrosine kinase occupancy (BTKO) were used for exposure-response analyses (maximum 207 patients). PK, BTKO profiles, and annualized relapse rate (ARR) after 48 weeks of treatment under alternative dosing regimens were simulated. Exposure-response modeling identified a relationship between evobrutinib exposure and clinical response for total number of T1 Gd+ and new/enlarging T2 lesions at weeks 12-24, and ARR at week 48.
