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.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeActivating mutations in AKT genes are rare but play an important role in the commonly dysregulated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in multiple cancers. NCI-MATCH (EAY131) is a tumor-agnostic platform trial that enrolled patients to targeted therapies based on matching tumor genomic alterations. Subprotocol Z1K evaluated ipatasertib, a pan-AKT inhibitor, in patients with AKT1E17K-mutant metastatic tumors. PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients received ipatasertib 400 mg orally once daily in a 28-day cycle until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with well-controlled diabetes were eligible. Patients with known KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, or BRAF mutations were excluded. Prior PI3K and mTOR inhibitors were allowed. Prior AKT inhibitors were excluded. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, 6-month progression-free survival, and toxicity.

resultsThirty-five patients were enrolled, and 29 patients were included in the prespecified primary efficacy analysis. Multiple histologies were enrolled, with breast (n = 18) and gynecologic (n = 7) being the most common. The majority had >3 lines of prior therapy (19/29; 65.5%). The ORR was 24.1% (7/29; 90% confidence interval, 11.9%-40.6%) with P < 0.001 against a null rate of 5%. All responses were partial responses. The median response duration was 10.1 months (90% confidence interval, 3.7-10.8). The most common toxicities of any grade included diarrhea (n = 25), nausea (n = 13), and hyperglycemia (n = 9). Grade 3/4 toxicities observed were consistent with reported toxicities for AKT inhibition. Twelve grade 3 events occurred that were thought to be at least possibly related to treatment.

conclusionsThe study met its primary endpoint with an ORR of 24.1% (P < 0.001), with ipatasertib demonstrating clinically significant activity in heavily pretreated patients with various tumors harboring AKT1E17K mutations. See related commentary by Dahmer Tiecher and Schram, p. 4863.
