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.

Abstract

introductionThis first-time-in-human study describes the pharmacokinetics, drug-drug interaction potential, and safety of VH4011499 (VH-499), a new HIV-1 capsid inhibitor.

methodsThis double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 1 study evaluated VH-499 in adults without HIV administered orally as single ascending doses as powder-in-bottle (PiB; part 1) and tablet (part 3) formulations and as multiple ascending doses as PiB formulation dosed once daily for 14 days (part 2). Midazolam was used to evaluate the effect of VH-499 on cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) activity (part 2).

resultsOverall, 73 participants were included (VH-499, n = 56; placebo, n = 17). VH-499 plasma exposures were less than dose-proportional, with median time to maximum observed concentration of 8.0-12.0 h for the PiB formulation and 24.0 h for the tablet formulation. Geometric mean terminal half-life was 51.2-66.5 h (2-3 days). The tablet formulation resulted in 45-63% lower exposures compared with PiB. Concomitant midazolam administration after single and multiple VH-499 doses did not lead to clinically significant changes in midazolam or 1-hydroxymidazolam exposures; therefore, VH-499 is not expected to inhibit or induce CYP3A4. VH-499 was well tolerated. Adverse event (AE) frequency was comparable between placebo and VH-499 groups. VH-499-related AEs were predominantly grade 1. No serious AEs across VH-499 groups, AEs leading to withdrawal from drug/study, or deaths occurred. There were no trends in vital signs, electrocardiograms, or laboratory hematology parameters and no clinically relevant changes in chemistry parameters.

conclusionFirst-time-in-human data further characterize the pharmacokinetics of orally administered VH-499 and provide support for development of VH-499 as part of a complete long-acting regimen for HIV-1 treatment and prevention. CLINICAL
