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

introductionOral trofinetide administered using a body weight-banded dosing regimen was approved in the US for the treatment of Rett syndrome (RTT) in patients aged ≥ 2 years. This approval was principally based on efficacy and safety findings of the phase 3 LAVENDER study in girls and women aged 5-20 years with RTT and extended to younger children aged 2-4 years with supporting data from the DAFFODIL study. Weight-banded dosing regimens were selected based on early clinical population pharmacokinetic (popPK) modeling and different scenario simulations. We report the development and application of an updated popPK model to confirm that steady-state trofinetide exposures achieved in individual patients in the LAVENDER study were within target exposure range.

methodsA previously developed popPK model using data from nine clinical studies was updated based on 13 clinical studies of trofinetide in healthy volunteers and pediatric and adult patients, including the LAVENDER study. PopPK model and empiric individual Bayesian pharmacokinetic parameter estimates were used to generate trofinetide exposures. Covariate data from the pharmacokinetic dataset from LAVENDER study subjects (n = 92) were used to estimate individual steady-state trofinetide exposure (area under concentration-time curve over 0-12 h [AUC

resultsAmong 5- to 20-year-olds receiving the LAVENDER BID dosing regimen [trofinetide 6 g (12‒20 kg), 8 g (> 20‒35 kg), 10 g (> 35‒50 kg), and 12 g (> 50 kg)], simulated AUC

conclusionsPopPK model-based simulations confirm that weight-banded trofinetide dosing used in LAVENDER in girls and women aged 5-20 years with RTT achieved target exposure. Graphical abstract available for this article.
