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

Methods to deepen clinical responses to ibrutinib are needed to improve outcomes for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). This study aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of combining a janus kinase (JAK)-inhibitor with ibrutinib because JAK-mediated cytokine-signals support CLL cells and may not be inhibited by ibrutinib. The JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib was prescribed to 12 CLL patients with abnormal serum beta-2 microglobulin levels after 6 months or persistent lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly after 12 months on ibrutinib using a 3 + 3 phase 1 trial design (NCT02912754). Ibrutinib was continued at 420 mg daily and ruxolitinib was added at 5, 10, 15, or 20 mg BID for 3 weeks out of five for seven cycles. The break was mandated to avoid anemia and thrombocytopenia observed with ruxolitinib as a single agent in CLL. The combination was well-tolerated without dose-limiting toxicities. Cyclic changes in platelets, lymphocytes, and associated chemokines and thrombopoietic factors were observed and partial response criteria were met in 2 of 12 patients. The results suggest that JAK-signaling helps CLL cells persist in the presence of ibrutinib and ruxolitinib with ibrutinib is well-tolerated and may be a useful regiment to use in combination therapies for CLL.
