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

purposeVepdegestrant is an investigational, orally administered PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) estrogen receptor (ER) degrader being evaluated for the treatment of ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, with promising results in prior studies of Western and Japanese patients. Vepdegestrant had not been previously evaluated in Chinese patients.

methodsThis phase 1 study (NCT05732428) assessed pharmacokinetics (PK) of vepdegestrant and its epimer (ARV-473), and safety and preliminary efficacy of vepdegestrant monotherapy (200 mg once daily [QD] in 28-day cycles) in Chinese adults with ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer who had received ≥ 1 prior line of endocrine therapy.

resultsNine female Chinese patients were treated (median age, 56.0 [range: 42.0-69.0] years; six received ≥ 3 prior anticancer therapies in the advanced setting). Geometric mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval was 9575 ng*h/mL following a single dose and 18,340 ng*h/mL following multiple daily doses on day 15; maximum observed concentration of vepdegestrant was 633.2 ng/mL and 1035 ng/mL after single and multiple doses, respectively. Vepdegestrant was well tolerated. Most treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade 1 or 2. Two patients experienced grade 3 TRAEs; no patients discontinued due to AEs. Objective response and clinical benefit rates were 33.3% and 44.4%, respectively. Three patients had partial responses; all three subsequently had progressive disease at the final data cutoff.

conclusionsVepdegestrant (200 mg QD) demonstrated a PK profile comparable to previous studies, a well-tolerated safety profile, and signs of preliminary antitumor activity in heavily pretreated Chinese patients with ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ClinicalTrials.gov ID, NCT05732428.
