Trial report in Journal for immunotherapy of cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07083375 (A Phase II Clinical Trial of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab in Combination With Bevacizumab and Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Previously Untreated Patients With Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer.), which is not on this map.

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

backgroundThe addition of a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor, either atezolizumab or durvalumab, to platinum-etoposide prolonged survival in a limited subset of patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Preclinical studies demonstrated synergistic antitumor activity of combined vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and PD-L1 inhibition in SCLC. Since bevacizumab added to platinum-etoposide was safe and active in ES-SCLC, we investigated the efficacy of atezolizumab, bevacizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide as first-line treatment of ES-SCLC.

methodsThe CeLEBrATE study is an Italian multicentric single-arm phase II trial of carboplatin (area under the curve 5 ml/min), etoposide (100 mg/sqm), bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg), and atezolizumab (1,200 mg) every 3 weeks (q3w) for four to six courses, followed by bevacizumab and atezolizumab maintenance q3w in patients with ES-SCLC and no contraindications to immunotherapy or antiangiogenic therapy. Patients with asymptomatic brain metastases were eligible. Prophylactic cranial irradiation and consolidation thoracic external radiotherapy were not permitted while on study treatment. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) rate at 1 year.

results53 patients were enrolled (45.3% women, median age 65 years) and received at least one dose of study treatment. At a median follow-up time of 23.4 months (95% CI: 21.1 to 26.0), the 1-year OS rate was 61.8% (90% CI: 50.7% to 72.8%; p=0.04), with a median OS of 12.9 months (95% CI: 11.6 to 17.5). Median progression-free survival was 6.2 months (95% CI: 5.4 to 6.6) and objective response rate was 83.3% (95% CI: 69.8% to 92.5%). Grade 3-4 adverse events were reported in 34 patients (64.2%) leading to dose reductions in 24 (45.3%), and dose delays in 39 (73.9%) and 32 (69.6%) during the induction and maintenance phase, respectively. 19 (35.8%) treatment-related serious adverse events were reported.

conclusionThe CeLEBrATE study met its primary objective demonstrating a signal of efficacy of bevacizumab, atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide in the first-line treatment of patients with ES-SCLC. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: GOIRC-01-2019 ML41241, Eudract Number: 2019-003798-2.
