Long-term response with the atypical reaction to nivolumab in microsatellite stability metastatic colorectal cancer: A case report.
Article in Drug target insights. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has become an integral part of a comprehensive treatment approach to metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Nivolumab (Opdivo) is a human immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction between the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) receptor and its ligands 1/2 (PD-L1/PD-L2), leading to inhibition of T-cell proliferation, cytokine secretion, and enhanced immune response. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved this drug for use in high microsatellite instability (MSI-high)/deficiencies in mismatch repair (dMMR) advanced CRC patients. However, its efficacy is extremely limited in microsatellite stability (MSS)/mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) patients. We report a case of a 42-year-old man diagnosed with MSS/pMMR mCRC who has achieved a durable response to nivolumab after a progression under chemotherapy with antiangiogenic treatment. We observed for the first time an atypical response after 8 months of nivolumab treatment, with the regression of previous primary pulmonary lesions and the presence of new para-aortic lymph node lesions. This report demonstrates that a subset of pretreated mCRC patients with the MSS/pMMR phenotype may benefit from nivolumab and these patients need more attention.
