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

We present the results of a phase 2 study evaluating the combination of obinutuzumab + idelalisib in relapsed/refractory (R/R) Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). The goal was to determine the safety and efficacy of a fixed-duration chemotherapy-free treatment. During the induction phase, patients received idelalisib + obinutuzumab for 6 cycles, followed by a maintenance phase with idelalisib alone for ≤2 years. Forty-eight patients with R/R WM were treated with the induction combination, and 27 patients participated in the maintenance phase. The best responses, reached after a median of 6.5 months (interquartile range, 3.4-7.1; range, 2.6-22.1 months), were very good partial response in 5 patients, partial response in 27 patients, and minor response in 3 patients, leading to overall response rate and major response rate estimates of 71.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 56.7-83.4) and 65.3% (95% CI, 50.4-78.3), respectively. With a median follow-up of 25.9 months, median progression-free survival was 25.4 months (95% CI, 15.7-29.0). Univariate analysis focusing on molecular screening found no significant impact of CXCR4 genotypes on responses and survivals but a deleterious impact of TP53 mutations on survival. Although there was no grade 5 toxicity, 26 patients were removed from the study because of side effects; the most frequent were neutropenia (9.4%), diarrhea (8.6%), and liver toxicity (9.3%). The combination of idelalisib + obinutuzumab is effective in R/R WM. Nonetheless, the apparent lack of impact of genotype on outcome could give new meaning to targeting of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway in WM. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02962401.
