Low dose continuous lenalidomide in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma: a retrospective case series.

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
Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) following autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) remain a management challenge with few reliably effective treatments. Lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory drug approved for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome with del(5q), multiple myeloma, and mantle cell lymphoma, has demonstrated some activity in patients with R/R cHL, though the toxicity of traditional doses and schedules has been a barrier to consistent use. Low dose continuous (LDC) schedules have emerged as promising, with a more favorable safety profile. We report herein that LDC schedules are associated with a far more tolerable toxicity profile, and exhibit at least equivalent efficacy in this patient population. We report that patients diagnosed with R/R cHL who previously underwent, or were not candidates for, ASCT and/or clinical trials, were administered daily LDC lenalidomide (20 mg orally with dose reduction for toxicity). Among the 19 patients included in this analysis, 11% of patients achieved a partial response (PR), with no documented complete responses (CR). A total of 12 (63%) patients maintained stable disease (SD), with 7 patients (37%) remaining in SD for more than 6 months. The clinical benefit rate (comprised of CR, PR, and SD for greater than 6 months) was 47% (7 out of 19 patients). The median progression-free survival and overall survival of all patients were 9.4 months (range, 4.6-14.4 months) and 90 months (range, 63.6-166.8 months), respectively. In general, the treatment was well tolerated, with grade 3 or 4 adverse events consisting of neutropenia (
