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

purposeImaradenant is a novel potent and selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonist that is hypothesized to reduce immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment. This phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of imaradenant.

methodsJapanese patients with advanced solid malignancies received imaradenant 50 mg (n = 3) or 75 mg (n = 7) once daily (QD). The primary objective was safety and tolerability, and the secondary objectives were pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor activity.

resultsThe median treatment duration was 2.10 months and 2.14 months for the 50- and 75-mg QD cohorts, respectively. The most common adverse events were nausea, malaise, decreased appetite, and vomiting. Five patients (50%) reported adverse events that were considered causally related to imaradenant; three patients had Grade 2 adverse events of malaise, nausea, and diarrhea. No deaths or serious adverse events occurred. The median times of maximum observed concentrations sampled after a single dose in the 50- and 75-mg QD cohorts were 1.08 h (range, 0.95-1.95) and 2.00 h (range, 0.92-5.52), respectively. There was little accumulation after multiple dosing, with geometric mean accumulation ratios of maximum concentration of 1.3 (50-mg QD) to 1.4 (75-mg QD) and area under the concentration-time curve 0-24 of 1.4 (50-mg QD) to 1.5 (75-mg QD). The best objective response was stable disease (3/10).

conclusionNo new or unexpected safety concerns were identified, and imaradenant had an acceptable safety profile at both 50- and 75-mg QD. CLINICALTRIALS: gov identifier NCT03980821 (June 10, 2019).
