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

backgroundADVISE (ADaptiVe biomarker trial that InformS Evolution of therapy) (NCT03335540) was a biomarker-adapted feasibility clinical trial of immunohistochemistry (IHC) to inform combination immuno-oncology (I-O) treatment.

methodsTo inform I-O combination selection, messenger RNA expression analyses from The Cancer Genome Atlas evaluated associations between programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) and other I-O-associated genes. Tumor tissue blocks of melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and gastroesophageal junction/gastric cancer were stained by IHC to assess expression of CD8, colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor, glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR), indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1, lymphocyte-activation gene 3, NKp46, forkhead box P3, and PD-L1. These results facilitated an I-O treatment selection algorithm where patient biopsy results dictated allocation into combinations of nivolumab with cabiralizumab, urelumab, linrodostat mesylate, relatlimab, BMS-986156 (anti-GITR), lirilumab, ipilimumab, or irradiation. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with qualified baseline tumor biopsy specimens where decision-enabling biomarker analysis was completed within 12 business days to select an I-O combination therapy.

resultsCorrelation of PD-1/L1 and I-O-associated genes varied across the spectrum of T-cell-inflamed versus non-inflamed tumors; however, tumors with low/intermediate

conclusionsActualization of a patient-specific I-O combination treatment selection strategy is feasible, however, determination of de novo integral biomarker thresholds of novel I-O targets to facilitate effective treatment of PD-1-refractory cancer remains fraught. These data emphasize the difficulty of integral biomarker development for I-O in translating from immunotherapy treatment-naïve biospecimens to the selection of patients in the PD-1-refractory state. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03335540.
