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

purposeDual PD-1/CTLA-4 inhibition shows promise in various malignancies. The SWOG S1609 Dual Anti-CTLA-4 and Anti-PD-1 Blockade in Rare Tumors (DART) trial presents initial results of ipilimumab/nivolumab in vulvar cancers. PATIENTS AND

methodsDART is a prospective/open-label/multicenter (1,016 US sites)/multicohort phase II clinical trial of ipilimumab (1 mg/kg intravenously every 6 weeks) plus nivolumab (240 mg intravenously every 2 weeks). The primary endpoint was objective response rate [ORR; confirmed complete response and partial response (PR)] per RECISTv1.1, whereas progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, clinical benefit rate (CBR; ORR plus stable disease ≥6 months), and toxicity were secondary endpoints.

resultsSixteen evaluable patients (median age, 55.5 years; 0-6 prior therapies; no prior immunotherapy) were analyzed, all of whom had squamous cell carcinoma histology. The ORR was 18.8% (3/16), CBR was 25% (4/16), and CBR plus unconfirmed PR rate was 31% (5/16); the PFS was 34.1, 16.7. 15.5, 7.2, and 7.0 months for these five patients, respectively. The median PFS and overall survival were 2.2 and 7.6 months, respectively. The most common adverse events were diarrhea, fatigue, pruritus, anorexia, and nausea (25%, n = 4 each). Grade 3 to 4 adverse events occurred in 25% of patients (n = 4). There was one grade 1 to 2 adverse event (6.7%) that led to discontinuation and one (6.7%) grade 5 death adverse event.

conclusionsIpilimumab plus nivolumab in vulvar cancers resulted in an objective response in 3 of 16 patients, all of whom had durable responses lasting over 1 year. Notably, two additional patients experienced durable stable disease and unconfirmed PR. Correlative studies to determine response and resistance markers are ongoing.
