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 2 study (NCT04238715) evaluated the efficacy/safety of tasurgratinib 140 mg daily in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 fusions/rearrangements.

methodsEligible Japanese and Chinese patients who had surgically unresectable, advanced, or metastatic CCA and had received ≥1 prior gemcitabine-based combination chemotherapy regimen were included and treated with oral tasurgratinib 140 mg daily. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); the study was considered successful if the lower limit of the ORRs 90% CI was >15%. Secondary endpoints included duration of response and safety. FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements were confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization performed in central laboratories. Tumor responses were measured every 8 weeks by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 per independent imaging review.

resultsSixty-three patients were treated; 23 (37%) had received 1 prior regimen, all others had received ≥2. By the data cutoff date (15 March 2023), the ORR was 30.2% (two-sided 90% CI: 20.7-41.0). The median duration of response for responders was 5.6 months (95% CI: 3.7-9.3; range: 1.0+ to 14.8+). Sixty-one patients (97%) had ≥1 treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse event; 18 patients (29%) had ≥1 grade ≥3 treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events. Four patients (6%) had a fatal adverse event, none were considered treatment-related. Tasurgratinib had promising antitumor activity in patients with CCA harboring FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements after ≥1 prior gemcitabine-based chemotherapy regimen.

conclusionsThe primary endpoint (ORR) met the study's predefined success criteria. Tasurgratinib had a manageable safety profile consistent with previous reports and the known pharmacological profile of FGFR inhibitors.
