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

introductionPanobinostat, bortezomib, and dexamethasone combination therapy demonstrated progression-free survival (PFS) benefit over bortezomib and dexamethasone alone in the PANORAMA-1 study in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we present data from a phase II study (NCT02290431) of this combination in Japanese patients with relapsed or relapsed-and-refractory MM.

methodsPatients received 3-week cycles of 20-mg oral panobinostat (weeks 1 and 2), 1.3-mg/m2 subcutaneous bortezomib (days 1, 4, 8, and 11), and 20-mg oral dexamethasone (day of and the day following bortezomib administration) for a total of 8 cycles (24 weeks; treatment phase 1). Patients with treatment benefit had an option to enter the extension phase to receive 6-week (42-day) cycles of panobinostat (weeks 1, 2, 4, and 5) plus bortezomib (days 1, 8, 22, and 29) and dexamethasone (day of and the day following bortezomib treatment) for 24 weeks. The primary objective was complete response (CR) + near CR (nCR) rate after treatment phase 1 as per the modified European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria.

resultsOf the 31 patients, 4 (12.9%) completed the treatment and 27 (87.1%) discontinued; 17 (54.8%) entered the extension phase. In total, 24 patients (77.4%) entered the survival follow-up phase and followed until study closure when the last patient was treated for 1 year after treatment phase 1. The CR + nCR rate was 48.4% (90% CI: 33.6-63.2). The overall response rate (CR + nCR + partial response) was 80.6%. The median PFS, duration of response, time to response, and time to progression were 15.3, 22.7, 1.4, and 15.3 months, respectively. All patients experienced adverse events (AEs), with diarrhea (80.6%), decreased appetite (58.1%), and thrombocytopenia (54.8%) being the most frequent, regardless of relationship to the study treatment. Thrombocytopenia (48.4%), fatigue (25.8%), diarrhea (22.6%), neutrophil count decrease (22.6%), platelet count decrease (22.6%), and lymphocyte count decrease (22.6%) were the most frequent grade 3/4 AEs.

conclusionThe study met the primary objective with 48.4% CR + nCR rate. The AEs associated with the combination treatment were safely managed using the existing AE management guidelines, including dose interruption/modification and/or supportive medical intervention. This treatment regimen is an effective option with a favorable benefit/risk profile for Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory MM.
