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

introductionPatients with BRAF V600E-mutated/microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) are associated with a poor prognosis. Backline treatment has minimal efficacy. Multi-target inhibitors of the RAS-RAF-MEK signaling pathway combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody may be a promising strategy for BRAF V600E-mutated mCRC.

methodsThis prospective phase I trial enrolled patients to explore tolerability and safety of the VCC regimen in previously treated patients with BRAF V600E-mutated/MSS mCRC. Enrolled patients treated with VCC therapy every 2 weeks (cetuximab 500mg/m

resultsThis trial enrolled 12 eligible patients. Total 2 patients had DLT: one had grade 3 thrombocytopenia and immune myocarditis, another had grade 3 vaginal bleeding. Adverse events (AEs) of grade 3 or higher occurred in 50% of patients. Grade 3 AEs were mainly drug-related fever (25.0%), drug-related rash (16.7%). Median overall survival (OS) and PFS were 7.19 months and 3.47 months, respectively. The ORR and DCR were 33.3% and 66.7%. One patient achieved CR. three patients achieved PR. An abnormal CD4/CD8 ratio was associated with a higher risk of progression. Different efficacy of VCC regimen may be attributed to the difference in tumor immune environment.

conclusionsA combination of vemurafenib, cetuximab combined with camrelizumab exhibited manageable adverse reactions and efficacy in BRAF V600E-mutated/MSS patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who progressed after standard treatment. This is a pilot study and a larger phase II trials is planned to validate the findings. (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05019534).
