Sintilimab plus anlotinib as second- or third-line therapy in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor mutations: A prospective, single-arm, phase II trial.
Trial report 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 NCT04790409 (Department of Medical Oncology, Zhejiang Cancer Hospital), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
backgroundPatients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and uncommon EGFR alterations typically have worse treatment outcomes than patients with classically EGFR-mutated NSCLC. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 blockade with sintilimab plus anti-angiogenic treatment with anlotinib in patients with NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations.
methodsPatients with metastatic NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations after two previous treatments, including a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and a targeted treatment (or chemotherapy only for patients harboring EGFR ex20ins), received sintilimab combined with anlotinib. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR).
resultsAt data cutoff (September 27, 2022), median follow-up was 22.3 months (range, 1.2-37.6). Among 21 enrolled patients, 12 had EGFR ex20ins and nine had other uncommon EGFR mutations such as L861Q, G719A, and G709X. Overall, eight patients (38.1%) achieved an objective response, and 18 (85.7%) achieved disease control. Median (95% CI) progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.0 (5.4-8.6) months, and median overall survival (OS) was 20.0 (15.6-24.4) months. The 12-month PFS rate (95% CI) was 22.2% (7.4-42.0), and the 12-month OS rate was 66.7% (42.5-82.5). Patients harboring EGFR ex20ins had similar ORR and PFS to those with other mutations. Six patients (28.6%) experienced grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs); hand-foot syndrome was the most common grade 3 TRAE (2 patients; 9.5%). No grade ≥4 TRAEs were observed.
conclusionsThe combination of sintilimab and anlotinib demonstrated durable efficacy and was generally well tolerated in patients with NSCLC and uncommon EGFR mutations who had received prior standard-of-care treatments. (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04790409).
