Phase 2 study of glucarpidase in patients with delayed methotrexate elimination after high-dose methotrexate therapy.

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
purposeHigh-dose methotrexate therapy (HD-MTX) is a standard treatment for various malignant tumors, but approximately 1-10% of patients experience delayed MTX elimination (DME) that can induce organ damage. Glucarpidase can hydrolyze MTX and thereby lower the level of active MTX in the blood. A multicenter, open-label, phase II investigator-initiated trial (CPG2-PII study) was conducted to evaluate glucarpidase rescue therapy in Japanese patients who showed DME after HD-MTX treatment. To confirm the robustness of this therapy, further corporate-sponsored clinical trial (OP-07-001 study) was conducted.
methodsThe primary endpoint in the CPG2-PII study was to evaluate the proportion of patients of the percentage clinical important reduction (CIR) as an indicator of MTX concentration, which can be managed with leucovorin and supportive care. The primary endpoint of the OP-07-001 study was to evaluate the decreasing rate of plasma MTX concentration at 20 min after glucarpidase administration from the baseline for four patients. Glucarpidase was administered at a dose of 50 U/kg for 15 and 4 patients, respectively in the two studies, and safety was analyzed for each of them.
resultsThe rate of CIR was 76.9% (95% confidence interval, 46.2-95.0%) in the CPG2-PII study. The median reduction rate of plasma MTX was 98.83% in the OP-07-001 study. Hypersensitivity, blood bilirubin increased, and headache for each patient were the only study drug-related events.
conclusionGlucarpidase showed an effect of reducing plasma MTX concentration in Japanese patients with DME as that observed in a previous US study, confirming its favorable safety and tolerability.
