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

purposeWe hypothesized that resistance to hypomethylating agents (HMA) among patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) would be overcome by combining a programmed death-ligand 1 antibody with an HMA. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe conducted a Phase I/II, multicenter clinical trial for patients with MDS not achieving an International Working Group response after at least 4 cycles of an HMA ("refractory") or progressing after a response ("relapsed") with 3+ or higher risk MDS by the revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) and CMML-1 or -2. Phase I consisted of a 3+3 dose-escalation design beginning with guadecitabine at 30 mg/m2 and escalating to 60 mg/m2 Days 1 to 5 with fixed-dose atezolizumab: 840 mg intravenously Days 8 and 22 of a 28-day cycle. Primary endpoints were safety and tolerability; secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and survival.

resultsThirty-three patients, median age 73 (range 54-85), were treated. Thirty patients had MDS and 3 had CMML, with 30% relapsed and 70% refractory. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in Phase I. There were 3 (9%) deaths in ≤ 30 days. Five patients (16%) came off study for drug-related toxicity. Immune-related adverse events (IRAE) occurred in 12 (36%) patients (4 grade 3, 3 grade 2, and 5 grade1). ORR was 33% [95% confidence interval (CI), 19%-52%] with 2 complete remission (CR), 3 hematologic improvement, 5 marrow CR, and 1 partial remission. Median overall survival was 15.1 (95% CI, 8.5-25.3) months.

conclusionsGuadecitabine with atezolizumab has modest efficacy with manageable IRAEs and typical cytopenia-related safety concerns for patients with relapsed or refractory MDS and CMML.
