Fruquintinib in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer: a multicenter real-world study.
Article in ESMO open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT06202417 (Fruquintinib in Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
backgroundFruquintinib has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In clinical practice, fruquintinib is sometimes used in combination with other drugs, but its efficacy and safety are still unknown. In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of the real-world treatment modalities involving fruquintinib in late-line settings for mCRC across six centers in China. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients with refractory mCRC who received fruquintinib treatment in six centers in China between 1 January 2021 and 31 June 2022 were included in this study. Patients were categorized into two cohorts: the monotherapy group (treated solely with fruquintinib) and the combined group (received fruquintinib combined with chemotherapy and/or anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibodies). Demographic, clinical, survival, and safety data were retrospectively analyzed. The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT06202417.
resultsA total of 520 patients were included in this study. The median follow-up time was 9.7 months. The disease control rate was 64.8%. The median progression-free survival was 5.0 months and the median overall survival was 11.4 months. Of them, 387 (74.4%) were treated with fruquintinib alone, while 133 (25.6%) were administered fruquintinib plus chemotherapy and/or anti-programmed cell death protein 1 antibodies, respectively. Adverse events were reported by 91.3% (457/520) of patients. The rate of grade 3 or 4 toxicity was 42.4% (237/520). No treatment-related death occurred.
conclusionFruquintinib, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other medications, demonstrates substantial efficacy and favorable tolerability in refractory mCRC patients.
