A phase II study of weekly carboplatin and concurrent radiotherapy in older adults with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LOGIK1902).
Trial report in Thoracic cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundConcurrent chemoradiotherapy is the standard therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there is little evidence supporting its use in older adults. Low-dose daily carboplatin combined with thoracic radiotherapy is considered a standard regimen for this population. To establish a simple and feasible carboplatin administration method, we conducted a study of weekly carboplatin and concurrent radiotherapy for older adults with locally advanced NSCLC.
methodsThis prospective, single-arm, multicenter, phase II clinical trial included patients aged ≥75 years with unresectable stage III NSCLC and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1. Patients received chemoradiotherapy (60 Gy/30 fractions plus concurrent weekly carboplatin at an area under curve of 2 mg mL
resultsFrom July 2020 to June 2022, 37 patients were enrolled from 15 institutions, and 36 patients were evaluable for efficacy and safety. The ORR was 63.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 47.6-77.5). Median PFS was 14.6 months (95% CI = 9.1-18.1). Median OS was 25.5 months (95% CI = 17.4-not reached). Grade 4 leucopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were observed in one patient (2.8%) each.
conclusionWeekly carboplatin and concurrent radiation therapy was safe in older adults with locally advanced NSCLC, and promising activity was observed.
