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

backgroundSacituzumab govitecan (SG) has been approved by FDA in April 2021 for pre-treated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), following the ASCENT trial results.

methodsWe set up an ambispective bicentric cohort study to assess the real-world effectiveness and safety of SG in patients with mTNBC treated at Institut Curie Hospitals, with a focus on patients with brain metastases.

resultsThis study included 99 patients treated through the French Early Access Program to SG from May 2021 to January 2023. Median age was 55 years [26-89], N = 8 patients (8%) had BRCA1/2 mutation, N = 12 (12%) de novo stage IV disease and N = 31 (31%) brain metastases. Patients had previously received a median of two [1-10] lines of treatment in advanced setting. After a median follow-up of 9.7 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 3.9 months (95%CI[3.4-5.0]) and 8.6 months (95%CI[7.1-11.9]), respectively, while objective response rate was 29% (95%CI[21-39]). Among patients with brain metastases, median PFS and OS were 3.7 months (95%CI[2.6-6.2]) and 6.7 months (95%CI[6.3-NR]), respectively, with intracranial tumor responses. Dose reductions were required in N = 17 patients (17%) within a median of three [2-11] cycles, due to gastrointestinal toxicity (N = 6; 6%), hematological toxicity (N = 9; 9%) including febrile neutropenia (N = 2; 2%), liver enzyme elevation (N = 1; 1%), and physical deterioration (N = 1; 1%). There was no related death to SG.

conclusionsThe observed response rate and safety of SG are consistent with the results of the ASCENT trial, with efficacy observed in patients with brain metastases, but observed PFS and OS are numerically shorter.
