Treatment with novel topoisomerase inhibitors in Ewing sarcoma models reveals heterogeneity of tumor response.

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
Introduction: The topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitor irinotecan is a standard-of-care agent for relapsed Ewing sarcoma (EWS), but its efficacy is limited by chemical instability, rapid clearance and reversibility, and dose-limiting toxicities, such as diarrhea. Indenoisoquinolines (IIQs) represent a new class of clinical TOP1 inhibitors designed to address these limitations. Methods: In this study, we evaluated the preclinical efficacy of three IIQs (LMP400, LMP744, and LMP776) in relevant models of EWS. We characterized the pharmacokinetics of IIQs in orthotopic xenograft models of EWS, optimized the dosing regimen through tolerability studies, and tested the efficacy of IIQs in a panel of six molecularly heterogeneous EWS patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. For each PDX, we conducted whole genome and RNA sequencing, and methylation analysis. Results: We show that IIQs potently inhibit the proliferation of EWS cells in vitro, inducing complete cell growth inhibition at nanomolar concentrations via induction of DNA damage and apoptotic cell death. LMP400 treatment induced ≥30% tumor regression in two of six PDX models, with more durable regression compared to irinotecan treatment in one of these models. RNA sequencing of PDX models identified a candidate predictive biomarker gene signature for LMP400 response. These data, along with pharmacogenomic data on IIQs in sarcoma cell lines, are available at a new interactive public website: https://discover.nci.nih.gov/rsconnect/EwingSarcomaMinerCDB/. Discussion: Our findings suggest that IIQs may be promising new agents for a subset of EWS patients.
