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

backgroundProstate cancer is regulated by steroid hormones, even in castration-resistant disease. ODM-208, a novel inhibitor of cytochrome P450 11A1 (which catalyzes the first step of steroid-hormone biosynthesis), was investigated in patients with heavily pretreated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

methodsCYPIDES is a first-in-human phase 1 (3 + 3 design) and phase 2 study. We administered ODM-208 twice daily with glucocorticoid/mineralocorticoid replacement and ongoing androgen deprivation therapy to adults with previously treated mCRPC, regardless of androgen receptor gene (AR) ligand-binding domain mutations (phase 1) and with activating AR ligand-binding domain mutations (ARmut; phase 2). Safety, pharmacokinetics, steroid-hormone pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy were the key outcomes.

resultsNinety-two patients received one or more doses of ODM-208: 47 in phase 1 (20 [42.6%] with ARmut) and 45 in phase 2 (all ARmut). A dose of ODM-208 of 5 mg twice a day with dexamethasone 1 mg/fludrocortisone 0.1 mg provided a balance between decreased steroidogenesis and toxicity. Treatment-related adrenal insufficiency was the most common toxicity in phase 1 (n=17, 36.2%; necessitating ODM-208 discontinuation in one patient); this toxicity occurred in six patients (13.3%) at 5 mg twice a day in phase 2. Median circulating testosterone levels declined from 3.0 ng/dl (interquartile range, 1.3 to 6.2 ng/dl) at baseline to undetectable levels within the first week of ODM-208 5 mg twice a day treatment in 46 of 53 (87%) patients. A decrease in prostate-specific antigen levels of 50% or more occurred in 14 of 19 (73.7%) patients with ARmut and 2 of 23 (8.7%) patients with AR wild type in phase 1 and in 24 of 45 (53.3%) patients with ARmut in phase 2.

conclusionsODM-208 potently inhibited steroid-hormone biosynthesis with the expected toxicity of adrenal insufficiency. Evidence of antitumor activity was observed in this heavily pretreated mCRPC population, especially in those with ARmut. (Funded by Orion Pharma; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03436485.)
