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

backgroundOsimertinib is a standard treatment for first- or second-line therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). However, options are limited for patients with acquired EGFR T790M mutations resistant to first- or second-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). This study assessed the efficacy and safety of combining osimertinib with anlotinib in this patient population and explored circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker of treatment outcomes.

methodsIn this prospective, single-arm, phase II trial, 31 patients with advanced NSCLC resistant to prior first- or second-generation EGFR-TKIs therapy received osimertinib (80 mg daily) and anlotinib (12 mg daily on days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle). Efficacy endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). ctDNA was analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to monitor mutation status and treatment response.

resultsThe median PFS was 16.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.8-23.6, 90% CI 14.2-20.9), and the median OS was 31.4 months (95% CI 27.3-not reached). The objective response rate (ORR) was 45.2% (95% CI 30.6-66.6%), with a disease control rate (DCR) of 96.8% (95% CI 86.3-100.0%). ctDNA analysis showed that activating EGFR mutation clearance after two treatment cycles correlated with significantly longer PFS and OS. The regimen was well-tolerated, with no grade 4 or higher adverse events observed.

conclusionsOsimertinib combined with anlotinib demonstrates promising long-term efficacy and manageable safety in EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC. Clearance of ctDNA, particularly of EGFR mutations, could serve as a valuable predictive biomarker, supporting the implementation of personalized treatment strategies.
