Evaluation of Bortezomib-BeEAM (2BeEAM) as Chemotherapy Regimen Prior to ASCT in Patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
(1) Background: First-line therapy in fit MCL patients may comprise high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous transplantation to consolidate remission before maintenance treatment. However, optimization of HDCT is an unmet clinical need given the substantial relapse rate of first-line treatment, while the use of bortezomib is a promising candidate to be added to standard HDCT. (2) Methods: We analyzed 11 consecutive patients with MCL who received bortezomib added to standard BeEAM (2BeEAM) HDCT at a single academic institution. We assessed safety, feasibility, toxicities, and survival rates. (3) Results: All patients had stage III or IV disease. We found that six patients (55%) developed new or worsening of preexisting peripheral neuropathy following administration of 2BeEAM HDCT. One patient relapsed within the first six months after HDCT, whereas three patients never reached complete remission. After a median follow-up of 22 months, the PFS was 64% and the OS 64% at the last follow-up assessment. At this time, 55% of patients were in CR. (4) Conclusions: The use of bortezomib added to standard BeEAM HDCT is associated with relevant toxicities, particularly with regards to additional neuropathy. Moreover, the anti-lymphoma efficacy of 2BeEAM HDCT appears to be modest; therefore, other therapeutic options should be evaluated for consolidation in this patient group.
