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.

2 · The registry

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

The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has been advanced by the development of small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which target the fusion protein BCR-ABL1 expressed by the Philadelphia chromosome. Ponatinib is a 3rd generation TKI that binds BCR-ABL1 with high affinity and inhibits most BCR-ABL1 mutants, including the T315I mutation. The approved starting dose of ponatinib is 45 mg once daily (full dose), however, the need for a full dose, especially in patients with dose adjustments due to tolerability problems, remains undemonstrated. Lower starting doses of ponatinib (30 mg or 15 mg once daily) for patients "with lesser degrees of resistance or multiple intolerances, especially those with an increased cardiovascular risk profile" has been recommended by the 2020 European LeukemiaNet. However, the available literature and guidance on the use of ponatinib at low dosage are limited. The objective of this paper is to describe how we select ponatinib dosage for CML patients in chronic phase in our clinical practice based on the available evidence and our clinical experience. We propose dosing regimens for the optimal starting dose for six generic cases of CML patients in chronic phase eligible for the switch to ponatinib and provide an algorithm to guide ponatinib dosing during treatment.
