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

purposeTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with high recurrence rates and poor prognosis, often requiring multiple therapies. BEGONIA was a phase Ib/II, multiarm, platform study evaluating the safety and efficacy of first-line treatment combinations with durvalumab (anti-PD-L1 antibody) for locally advanced, unresectable/metastatic TNBC (mTNBC; NCT03742102). In this study, we report results of 3 treatment arms. PATIENTS AND

methodsEligible female participants (≥18 years with untreated, unresectable, locally advanced/mTNBC) received durvalumab plus paclitaxel or were randomized to this treatment in combination with capivasertib (pan-AKT inhibitor) or oleclumab (anti-CD73 antibody). The primary objective was safety and tolerability; secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR).

resultsTwenty-three patients received durvalumab plus paclitaxel, 31 received capivasertib combination, and 33 received oleclumab combination. Maximum grade 3/4 adverse events occurred in 10 of 23 (43.5%), 25 of 31 (80.6%), and 8 of 33 (24.2%) patients in the durvalumab plus paclitaxel, capivasertib-combination, and oleclumab-combination arms, respectively. The confirmed ORR (95% confidence interval) was 56.5% (34.5-76.8) with durvalumab plus paclitaxel, 54.8% (36-72.7) with capivasertib combination, and 51.5% (33.5-69.2) with oleclumab combination. Responses were observed across biomarker subgroups, including PD-L1, PIK3CA/AKT1/PTEN alterations, and CD73, with a trend for improved activity in the PD-L1-positive subgroups.

conclusionsThese findings support the clinical activity and tolerability of durvalumab plus paclitaxel in locally advanced unresectable/mTNBC, as expected for an immune checkpoint inhibitor in combination with chemotherapy. The addition of capivasertib or oleclumab to this treatment combination showed no substantial additional benefit. PD-L1 expression was associated with enhanced antitumor activity across all arms.
