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

backgroundThis phase I study (NCT04568902) evaluated a novel selective estrogen receptor (ER)-α covalent antagonist (H3B-6545) at doses of 300-450 mg in Japanese women with ER-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, advanced/metastatic breast cancer (mBC). PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study consisted of three parts. In the dose-escalation (DE) part, two dose levels [300 and 450 mg once daily (QD)] were evaluated. The next two parts (antihistamine prophylactic administration and randomization) evaluated oral antihistamines for rash occurrence. Primary endpoints were dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and safety; secondary endpoints included objective response rate [ORR; i.e. complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)] and clinical benefit rate [CBR; i.e. CR + PR + stable disease (SD) for ≥23 weeks].

resultsThirty-three patients were enrolled to receive H3B-6545 (300 mg, n = 3; 450 mg with antihistamine, n = 15; 450 mg without antihistamine, n = 15). Median age was 57 years. The median number of prior therapies for mBC was three including fulvestrant (78.8%) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (72.7%). In the DE part, no DLTs were observed with H3B-6545 300 mg. One DLT (grade 3 QT interval prolonged) occurred among six patients with H3B-6545 450 mg. Overall, the most common adverse event (AE) was sinus bradycardia (93.9%); the most common grade 3 AE was anemia (15.2%). No grade 4/5 AEs were reported. Rash maculopapular or rash occurred in 10 of 15 patients (66.7%) given H3B-6545 450 mg QD with prophylactic antihistamines and in 4 of 15 patients (26.7%) not given prophylactic antihistamines. Overall, 1 patient had a PR and 19 had SD; the ORR was 3.0% and the CBR was 33.3%. Of 12 patients with mutant ESR1, the CBR was 66.7% with 1 PR.

conclusionsH3B-6545 at 450 mg QD was tolerated and showed preliminary antitumor effects in Japanese patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative mBC, particularly for those with ESR1 mutations.
