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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundWe present data from the Phase 1 open-label Study 101 of E7386, an oral protein-protein interaction inhibitor reported to block the CBP/β-catenin interaction, in patients with solid tumours.

methodsEligible patients (across the UK and US) aged ≥18 years had advanced/recurrent solid tumours (dose-escalation) or CTNNB1-mutated hepatocellular carcinoma (dose-expansion). Primary objectives were to assess safety/tolerability and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of E7386.

resultsThirty-eight patients received study drug (dose-escalation: n = 32; expansion: n = 6; dose-range: 5-120 mg twice daily [BID]); 60.5% received ≥3 prior anticancer medications. Dose-limiting toxicities (grade-2 lethargy and grade-2 decreased appetite) occurred in 1 patient (20 mg BID cohort). The RP2D was determined as 120 mg BID. Most (94.7%) patients experienced treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), most frequently nausea (65.8%) and vomiting (60.5%), which were primarily grade 1/2 and well-managed with antiemetics. No grade 4/5 TRAEs were noted. Pharmacokinetic exposure increased with increasing dose, although large intersubject variability was observed. No objective responses were noted; stable disease (SD) was observed in 36.8% of patients, including SD ≥ 23 weeks in 18.8% of patients (dose-escalation).

conclusionsE7386 demonstrated a manageable safety profile, a dose-dependent pharmacokinetic profile, and some disease stabilisation in heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumours.
