Exploiting androgen receptor agonism as a treatment strategy in estrogen receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.
Article in NPJ breast cancer, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in 75% of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers (BC). Selective AR modulators (SARMs), like EP0062, present a promising therapeutic strategy for ER + BC, particularly in patients who cannot tolerate endocrine therapy (ET) or whose tumors have developed resistance. We aimed to study the antitumor activity of EP0062 in ER+ patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. EP0062 displayed comparable antitumor efficacy to selective ER degraders (SERDs), including in PDXs with ESR1, PIK3CA, or PTEN mutations. Tumors sensitive to SARMs were enriched in GATA3 mutations. EP0062 treatment induced AR-target genes across all models tested. A transcriptional signature associated with SARM sensitivity was identified, primarily driven by proliferation-related processes, consistent with a significant decrease in S-phase cell cycle proteins upon treatment in EP0062-sensitive models. In some EP0062-resistant tumors, the combination with palbociclib enhanced the antitumor effect of EP0062, suggesting a potential strategy for metastatic patients with acquired ET resistance.
