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

backgroundFolate receptor α (FRα) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein that facilitates folate transport and has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for ovarian cancer, particularly due to its association with tumor progression. This Phase I study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV), an antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor α (FRα), in Chinese patients with FRα-overexpressed platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

methodsThis study enrolled 19 Chinese patients with previously treated FRα-overexpressed ovarian cancer in the dose escalation phase (5 mg/kg, n = 4; 6 mg/kg, n = 3) and dose expansion phase (n = 12). MIRV was administered in escalating doses from 5 to 6 mg/kg (adjusted ideal body weight), following a 3 + 3 dose-escalation design. The trial is registered with chinadrugtrials.org.cn (CTR20211876).

resultsMedian treatment exposure were 9.9 weeks for the 5 mg/kg cohort (n = 4) and 13.1 weeks for the 6 mg/kg cohort (n = 15). The most common grade ≥ 3 adverse events were decreased platelet count (21.1%), decreased lymphocyte count (15.8%), and anemia (15.8%). The plasma concentration-time and pharmacokinetic profiles of MIRV and the total antibody were generally comparable after the first and third doses. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed a median time to maximum concentration (T

conclusionsMIRV showed anticipated pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and efficacy profiles in Chinese patients with FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancers, supporting its potential as a targeted therapeutic agent for this patient population.
