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.

Abstract

backgroundAZD2811 is a potent, selective Aurora kinase B inhibitor. We report the dose-escalation phase of a first-in-human study assessing nanoparticle-encapsulated AZD2811 in advanced solid tumours.

methodsAZD2811 was administered in 12 dose-escalation cohorts (2-h intravenous infusion; 15‒600 mg; 21-/28-day cycles) with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) at higher doses. The primary objective was determining safety and maximum tolerated/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

resultsFifty-one patients received AZD2811. Drug exposure was sustained for several days post-dose. The most common AZD2811-related adverse events (AEs) were fatigue (27.3%) at ≤200 mg/cycle and neutropenia (37.9%) at ≥400 mg/cycle. Five patients had dose-limiting toxicities: grade (G)4 decreased neutrophil count (n = 1, 200 mg; Days 1, 4; 28-day cycle); G4 decreased neutrophil count and G3 stomatitis (n = 1 each, both 400 mg; Day 1; 21-day cycle); G3 febrile neutropenia and G3 fatigue (n = 1 each, both 600 mg; Day 1; 21-day cycle +G-CSF). RP2D was 500 mg; Day 1; 21-day cycle with G-CSF on Day 8. Neutropenia/neutrophil count decrease were on-target AEs. Best overall responses were partial response (n = 1, 2.0%) and stable disease (n = 23, 45.1%).

conclusionsAt RP2D, AZD2811 was tolerable with G-CSF support. Neutropenia was a pharmacodynamic biomarker. CLINICAL
