A phase II trial of mTORC1/2 inhibition in STK11 deficient non small cell lung cancer.
Article in NPJ precision oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02664935 (National Lung Matrix Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
There are no current stratified medicine options for STK11-deficient NSCLC. STK11 loss mediates mTORC activation, GLUT1 up-regulation and increased glycolysis. This metabolic reprogramming might represent a therapeutic vulnerability targetable with mTORC1/2 inhibition. In arm B2 of the National Lung Matrix Trial 54 patients with NSCLC received vistusertib, of which 49 were STK11-deficient (30 with KRAS mutation (B2D), 19 without (B2S)). Objective response (OR) and durable clinical benefit (DCB) rates with 95% credible intervals (CrI) were estimated from posterior probability distributions generated using Bayesian beta-binomial conjugate analysis. In B2D, 2 per-protocol patients obtained OR (estimated true OR rate (95%CrI) 9.8% (2.4-24.3). Estimates of true DCB rate (95%CrI): B2D 24.4% (11.1-42.3), B2S 14.6% (3.6-34.7). Overall, vistusertib cannot be recommended in this context. Longitudinal ctDNA analysis demonstrates enrichment of SMARCA4 mutations post-treatment. In vitro studies show adaptive resistance to mTORC1/2 inhibition via AKT reactivation. (NCT02664935, ISRCTN38344105, EudraCT 2014-000814-73, 10 June 2015).
