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

The FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence's (OCE) launch of Project Optimus signals increased focus on dose optimization approaches in oncology drug development, particularly toward optimization in the premarket setting. Although sponsors continue to adapt premarket study designs and approaches to align with FDA's expectations for dose optimization, including consideration of the optimal dosage(s), there are still instances where questions remain at the time of approval about whether the approved doses or schedules are optimal. In these cases, FDA can exercise regulatory flexibility by issuing postmarketing requirements (PMR) and avoid delaying patient access to promising therapies. This landscape analysis demonstrates that over the past decade (2012-2022), FDA frequently used PMRs to answer additional questions about dosing for novel oncology approvals. We found more than half of drugs (78/132, 59.1%) had a dosing PMR and observed a recent increase in PMRs intended to evaluate whether a lower dose could be more optimal. These results suggest there are opportunities to adapt premarket dose optimization strategies and leverage innovative development tools to ensure timely identification of the optimal dose.
