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

purposeMalignancies have complex and distinct molecular profiles that may not segregate by tumor type. However, most precision oncology treatments are matched to a single biomarker. We aimed to optimize therapy for advanced cancers using individually dosed drug regimens customized to cotarget multiple molecular alterations.

methodsInvestigation of Profile-Related Evidence Determining Individualized Cancer Therapy (I-PREDICT; NCT02534675) is a prospective, investigator-initiated, multidepartment/pan-cancer trial for aggressive advanced/metastatic malignancies. Patients had tissue and/or blood next-generation sequencing (NGS; Foundation Medicine). A molecular tumor board made suggestions. Degree of biomarker matching to drugs given was calculated by a matching score (MS; broadly, number of pathogenic alterations targeted divided by total pathogenic alterations).

resultsOverall, 210 evaluable patients (n = 456 consented) received ≥1 US Food and Drug Administration-approved drug (mostly off label) after NGS. Median number of pathogenic alterations/tumor was five (range, 0-20); approximately 95% of patients had unique molecular landscapes. Consistent with I-PREDICT's objective to optimize/tailor treatment for each patient, we administered 157 different regimens (including 103 personalized combinations without established safety/dosing data). For previously unstudied combinations, starting doses were reduced and titrated to tolerance (intrapatient dose-finding); only 6.5% experienced Grade 3/4 drug-related toxicities (

conclusionThe I-PREDICT strategy of maximizing personalized biomarker matching with individually dosed customized drug combinations enabled safe and active N-of-1 matched treatment, including regimens previously unstudied in Phase I trials. I-PREDICT represents a blueprint for a new personalized precision oncology paradigm, which merits validation via additional prospective trials.
