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

introductionAlthough targeted therapies have revolutionized the therapeutic landscape of lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs), disease progression on single-agent targeted therapy against known oncogenic drivers is common, and therapeutic options after disease progression are limited. In patients with MDM2 amplification (MDM2amp) and a concurrent oncogenic driver alteration, we hypothesized that targeting of the tumor-suppressor pathway (by means of restoration of p53 using MDM2 inhibition) and simultaneous targeting of co-occurring MAPK oncogenic pathway might represent a more durably effective therapeutic strategy.

methodsWe evaluated genomic next-generation sequencing data using the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets platform to nominate potential targets for combination therapy in LUAD. We investigated the small molecule MDM2 inhibitor milademetan in cell lines and patient-derived xenografts of LUAD with a known driver alteration and MDM2amp.

resultsOf 10,587 patient samples from 7121 patients with LUAD profiled by next-generation sequencing, 6% (410 of 7121) harbored MDM2amp. MDM2amp was significantly enriched among tumors with driver alterations in METex14 (36%, p < 0.001), EGFR (8%, p < 0.001), RET (12%, p < 0.01), and ALK (10%, p < 0.01). The combination of milademetan and the MEK inhibitor trametinib was synergistic in growth inhibition of ECLC5-GLx (TRIM33-RET/MDM2amp), LUAD12c (METex14/KRAS

conclusionsCombined MDM2/MEK inhibition was found to have efficacy across multiple patient-derived LUAD models harboring MDM2amp and concurrent oncogenic drivers. This combination, potentially applicable to LUADs with a wide variety of oncogenic driver mutations and kinase fusions activating the MAPK pathway, has evident clinical implications and will be investigated as part of a planned phase 1/2 clinical trial.
