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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo test safety of two regimens at differing levels of radioactivity of PSMA-targeted alpha radionuclide 225Ac-J591. PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients with progressive, metastatic androgen pathway modulator resistant prostate cancer were enrolled in two parallel dose-escalation cohorts: (1) fractionated-dose regimen (single cycle of 45 - 65 KBq/kg of 225Ac-J591 on day 1 and day 15; main cohort agnostic to prior receipt of 177Lu-PSMA, additional cohort post 177Lu-PSMA) and (2) multiple cycles of 225Ac-J591 (45 - 65 KBq/kg administered every 6 weeks for up to 4 cycles). PSMA PET not utilized for eligibility. Primary end point was determination of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D); the fractionated cohort was expanded.

results42 patients were enrolled in fractionated (23 dose-escalation, 11 expansion, 8 post 177Lu-PSMA), 18 multiple dose. All received > 1 prior AR pathway inhibitor, 72% chemotherapy, 18% 177Lu-PSMA. Three patients had DLT in fractionated regimen with RP2D of 60 KBq/kg x2. Seven had DLT in multiple cycle regimen; this regimen is not recommended for further development. Amongst adverse events of special interest, temporary hematologic toxicity was most common [93% thrombocytopenia (32% grade >3), 65% neutropenia (13% grade >3), 63% anemia (20% grade >3)]; dry mouth occurred in 62% (2% grade 2). Across fractionated cohorts with or without prior 177Lu-PSMA, 60% with >50% PSA decline as best response; 28% with >50% PSA decline in multiple cycle.

conclusionsFractionated dosing of 225Ac-J591 appears promising. Further investigation is underway.
