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

purposeHuman epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression occurs in various subtypes of salivary gland cancers (SGC) and can be associated with treatment challenges and poor clinical outcomes. Zanidatamab is a dual HER2-targeted, bispecific antibody that has demonstrated antitumor activity across multiple HER2-positive tumor types. This combined analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of zanidatamab in HER2-positive SGC. PATIENTS AND

methodsAdult patients with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive SGC were enrolled in three early-phase trials of zanidatamab: a first-in-human phase I study (NCT02892123), a phase I study of patients in Japan (JRCT2031210161), and a phase Ib/II study evaluating zanidatamab plus evorpacept, a high-affinity CD47 inhibitor (NCT05027139). Confirmed objective response rate (cORR) and progression-free survival (PFS) were measured in each study. Outcomes with zanidatamab monotherapy were pooled for summary analysis.

resultsTen patients with HER2-positive SGC were enrolled across trials; six patients were previously treated with HER2-targeted therapy. Among patients who received zanidatamab monotherapy (n = 9), seven experienced zanidatamab-related adverse events (all grade 1/2), the most common being diarrhea and infusion-related reactions. The cORR [95% confidence interval (CI)] was 44% (14%-79%), the median (95% CI) PFS was 10.1 (3.8-not estimable) months, and the median (range) duration of response was not reached (9.4 to 42.3+ months). All patients experienced a reduction in tumor size. One patient who received zanidatamab plus evorpacept experienced a confirmed partial response and 18.4 months of PFS.

conclusionsAlthough the sample size is small, these findings support the clinical benefit of zanidatamab treatment for HER2-positive SGC.
