Crizotinib in anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma in the setting of renal insufficiency: a case report.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn vitro studies confirmed cytoreductive anti-tumor activity of crizotinib in experimental models of anaplastic large cell lymphoma in 2007. One case series and a few case reports describe the use of crizotinib in relapsed or refractory anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Even though data are limited regarding the dose of crizotinib in renal insufficiency, our case was successfully treated with a lower dose of crizotinib. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 48-year-old white man who had progressive disease after three prior cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone and three cycles of ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, and was not a candidate for high-dose chemotherapy and transplant due to poor performance status and renal insufficiency; he had a complete and durable response to single agent crizotinib. Crizotinib was given at a reduced dose (250 mg once daily) due to his renal insufficiency. He has been in complete remission for more than 2 years.
conclusionsOur experience confirms the activity of crizotinib in this disease; it suggests that long-term treatment with crizotinib is a reasonable option in patients who are not candidates for more aggressive therapy and indicates that crizotinib can be used successfully at reduced doses in patients with pre-existing renal insufficiency. The role and timing of crizotinib in anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma is unclear, but the current literature that we review here provides promising results that may lead to studies of crizotinib earlier in the course of disease.
