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

In the Phase 2 IZALCO study, we evaluated efficacy, patient preference, safety and pharmacokinetics for isatuximab administered SC by an innovative on-body injector (OBI) or manual injection, plus carfilzomib-dexamethasone (Kd) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. In Part 1, isatuximab SC was injected manually (cycles 1-6). In Part 2, patients were randomized to isatuximab SC by manual injection (cycles 1-3) followed by OBI administration (cycles 4-6) or to isatuximab OBI (cycles 1-3) followed by manual injection (cycles 4-6). From cycle 7, all patients could choose either treatment method. Overall, 74 RRMM patients received isatuximab SC plus Kd: 8 in Part 1 and 66 in Part 2. The patients had a median age of 65.0 years (44-85) with a median of 1 prior treatment line (1-5). The study met its primary efficacy endpoint with a 79.7% overall response rate (N = 74), at a median follow-up of 10.1 months. 74.5% of patients preferred the OBI rather than manual injection, 17% preferred manual injection, 8.5% had no preference. No impact of the SC delivery method was observed on efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of isatuximab given SC plus Kd, supporting the feasibility of using the OBI as a convenient method for isatuximab SC administration. Clinical trial information: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05704049.
