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

purposeCeralasertib is an oral ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibitor with preclinical activity in ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM)-altered cancers. The phase IIa PLANETTE study evaluated ceralasertib in previously treated advanced solid tumors (cohort A) or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (cohort B) with ATM alterations (ATM mutations and/or ATM protein deficiency). PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients received ceralasertib 160 mg twice daily on days 1 to 14 of a 28-day cycle. Efficacy was evaluated in patients with centrally confirmed ATM alterations. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR; cohort A) or composite response rate (CRR: radiographic response, prostate-specific antigen response, or circulating tumor cell conversion; cohort B). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS) and safety.

resultsCohorts A and B included 30 and 15 patients, respectively. ORR (cohort A) was 7.1% [80% confidence interval (CI), 1.9-17.9; n = 2/28]: one complete response ongoing at 14.1 months (breast cancer) and one partial response ongoing at 7.4 months (endometrial cancer). CRR (cohort B) was 7.7% (80% CI, 0.8-28.6; n = 1/13). In patients with centrally confirmed ATM protein loss, the ORR was 18.2% (80% CI, 4.9-41.5; n = 2/11) and CRR was 0% (80% CI, 0-28; n = 0/7). The median PFS was 3.7 months in each cohort (cohort A, 80% CI, 1.9-5.6; cohort B, 80% CI, 1.9-not calculable). Grade ≥3 adverse events (AE) occurred in 50% of cohort A and 53.3% of cohort B patients. The most common AEs overall were asthenia/fatigue, nausea, and anemia.

conclusionsCeralasertib monotherapy was tolerated; however, responses were limited. Alternative patient selection and combination treatments are being explored. SIGNIFICANCE: In the phase IIa PLANETTE study in advanced/metastatic ATM-altered cancers, ceralasertib 160 mg twice daily (days 1-14, 28-day cycle) was tolerated; objective responses were limited, corroborating previous findings with ATR inhibitors in ATM-deficient tumors. Optimizing biomarker-based patient selection beyond ATM deficiency represents a key aspect of future ATR inhibitor development.
