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

aimsBronchiectasis patients face an unmet need for treatment options that reduce inflammation. Cathepsin C inhibition is expected to achieve this by reducing the activation of neutrophil-derived serine proteases. Here, we present safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data from a Phase I trial evaluating the novel cathepsin C inhibitor BI 1291583 in healthy Japanese male subjects.

methodsThis randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study investigated BI 1291583 in healthy Japanese male subjects (jRCT2071210111) and consisted of a single-rising-dose (SRD) part and a multiple-dose (MD) part. The primary endpoint was the percentage of subjects with drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs). Secondary PK endpoints (SRD: AUC

resultsOverall, 36 subjects (n = 24 for SRD part; n = 12 for MD part) entered this Phase I trial. BI 1291583 was safe and well tolerated across the doses tested. All AEs were of mild intensity, with no drug-related treatment-emergent AEs, deaths, serious AEs or AEs of special interest reported in either part of the trial. Following both SRD and MD administration, BI 1291583 was readily absorbed, and PK was supraproportional over the doses assessed.

conclusionThe results show that BI 1291583 has an appropriate benefit-risk ratio for Japanese patients, with no safety or exposure concerns at the doses studied. Japanese patients with bronchiectasis can be safely integrated into future global clinical trials of BI 1291583, with no dose adjustment required.
