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

backgroundRitlecitinib is an oral Janus kinase 3/tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma family inhibitor undergoing parallel clinical development for alopecia areata, vitiligo, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.

objectiveAs studies read out simultaneously, strategic planning of population pharmacokinetic model development and evaluation is required to ensure timely decisions.

methodsData from healthy participants and patients from 12 clinical trials between December 2014 and July 2021 were included: seven phase I studies in healthy participants and organ impairment, five phase II/III studies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo. Population pharmacokinetic models consisted of stepwise procedures to accommodate data availability and the model's application to answering clinical development questions. At each iteration of the model update, parameters of the next model were re-estimated by leveraging previous information and new data.

resultsThree model development lifecycle iterations of the ritlecitinib population pharmacokinetic model were conducted to support alopecia areata, vitiligo, and ulcerative colitis study readouts. Initial structural modeling based on healthy participant data (and some rheumatoid arthritis and alopecia areata data) in iteration 1 provided a platform for comprehensive covariate testing during iteration 2, and model evaluation and implementation of the frequentist prior approach in iteration 3. The final model was a two-compartment model with first-order absorption and direct-response non-stationary clearance and bioavailability driven by concentrations in the peripheral compartment.

conclusionsThe present approach demonstrated the evolution of three population pharmacokinetic models with accumulating data, addressed clinical drug development questions related to systemic exposures of ritlecitinib, and informed the approved product label. CLINICAL
