Mitigating Severe Ribociclib-Hepatotoxicity With Corticosteroids.

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.
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
Ribociclib adds progression-free survival and overall survival benefit in combination with endocrine therapy for first-line treatment of advanced HR+ HER2- breast cancer; however, it comes with a risk of hepatotoxicity. There is guidance for monitoring liver function and holding the medication if hepatotoxicity arises. However, there is minimal guidance for management if withholding the medication alone is insufficient. We present a case of a woman with de novo metastatic HR+ HER2- breast cancer who developed grade 2 AST and ALT elevation after two cycles of ribociclib and anastrozole, which progressed over several weeks to Grade 4 hepatotoxicity despite holding the medication. Extensive evaluation revealed drug-induced liver injury from ribociclib as the cause. Ultimately, a long course of corticosteroids was initiated with remarkable response and resolution of transaminitis. An empiric trial of corticosteroids should be considered for patients with severe ongoing hepatotoxicity from CDK4/6 inhibitors despite cessation of the drug.
