A Phase II Study Investigating Cabozantinib in Patients with Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (AGICC 17CRC01).

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: Multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have shown clinical activity in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Cabozantinib, a multi-TKI, exhibited potent antitumor activity superior to regorafenib in preclinical colorectal cancer patient-derived tumor xenograft models. This phase II study aimed to investigate cabozantinib, a multi-TKI, in patients with refractory, metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Experimental Design: A nonrandomized, two-stage, phase II clinical trial evaluating 12-week progression-free survival (PFS) was conducted in eight cancer centers across the United States between May 2018 and July 2020. Results: A total of 44 patients were enrolled between May 2018 and May 2019, 40 of which were response evaluable. Of the total 769 reported adverse events (AE), 93 (12%) were ≥ grade 3. Five grade 5 AEs were reported of which four were unrelated to study drug and one was reported as possibly related due to bowel perforation. Eighteen patients (45%) achieved 12-week PFS with stable disease or better (confidence interval, 0.29-0.62; Conclusions: This phase II study demonstrated clinical activity of cabozantinib in heavily pretreated, patients with refractory mCRC, and supports further investigation. Significance: Targeting angiogenesis through VEGF axis blockade provides incremental survival benefit in patients with mCRC. The hepatocyte growth factor/MET signal transduction pathway has been observed as a mechanism for acquired resistance. Dual inhibition of VEGF plus MET is an attractive therapeutic strategy. This phase II trial demonstrated clinical activity with cabozantinib, a multi-TKI targeting VEGFR2 and MET, in patients with refractory, mCRC.
