Safety and tolerability of first-line durvalumab with tremelimumab and chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02658214 (A Phase Ib Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in Combination With First-Line Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundAdvanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is associated with poor prognosis; new first-line systemic treatment options are needed. Combining immuno-oncology therapies with standard chemotherapy may represent a promising approach for the treatment of solid tumors. Results from a Phase Ib study evaluating durvalumab with tremelimumab and chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic ESCC are reported.
methodsAdults with advanced or metastatic ESCC who were candidates for first-line platinum-based chemotherapy received durvalumab 1500 mg (Day 1), tremelimumab 75 mg (Day 1), cisplatin 80 mg/m
resultsSixteen patients were enrolled, 6 in Part A and 10 in Part B, and received a median of 4.0 treatment cycles. All patients were Asian; median age was 65.0 years. All patients experienced adverse events (AEs) related to cisplatin and 5-FU, and 8 (50.0%) patients experienced AEs related to durvalumab and tremelimumab. Grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs occurred in 7 (43.8%) patients. There were no deaths associated with AEs. Six (37.5%) patients achieved an objective response. Median progression-free survival was 3.75 months, and median overall survival was 9.69 months.
conclusionsDurvalumab with tremelimumab and chemotherapy demonstrated manageable safety and antitumor activity in patients with advanced or metastatic ESCC, warranting further investigation in randomized trials. Registered with ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02658214.
