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

introductionAtogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist approved for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults in the USA, EU, and several other countries. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and dose proportionality of atogepant in healthy Japanese participants, evaluate the safety and tolerability of atogepant in Japanese participants, and explore the differences in the PK and safety of atogepant in Japanese vs white participants.

methodsA total of 50 participants (40 Japanese and 10 white) were enrolled into five cohorts; Japanese cohorts were randomized in a 4:1 ratio to atogepant (10 mg, 30 mg, or 60 mg daily dosing and 60 mg twice daily) or placebo. The white participants were randomized to atogepant (60 mg twice daily) or placebo. Doses were administered on day 1 and days 3-8, with those on days 1 and 8 administered after an overnight fast.

resultsIn Japanese participants, atogepant exposure increased with dose, and there was no accumulation with once-daily dosing and minimal (~ 20%) accumulation with twice-daily dosing. Atogepant steady-state exposure appeared to be marginally lower in Japanese participants compared with white participants and was well tolerated. There were no treatment-related adverse events, serious adverse events, clinically significant changes in vital signs, or signs of suicidal ideation or behaviors.

conclusionAtogepant exposure increased with dose in healthy Japanese participants and was well tolerated within the dose range tested.
