Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07507825 (A Prospective, Multicenter, Exploratory Study of Venetoclax, Homoharringtonine, and Azacitidine Combined With G-CSF in Elderly or Unfit Patients With Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia), which is not on this map.

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

purposeT(8;21)(q22;q22.1)/AML1-ETO positive acute myeloid leukemia (AE-AML) is sensitive to conventional chemotherapy with a favorable prognosis. However, recent small case reports suggest the limited effectiveness of venetoclax (VEN) and hypomethylating agents (HMA) in treating AE-AML. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effectiveness of VEN plus AZA (VA) in AE-AML and explore whether adding homoharringtonine (HHT) to VA (VAH) could improve the response.

methodsPatients who received VEN plus AZA and HHT (VAH) or VEN plus AZA (VA) regimens were included in this retrospective study. The endpoints of this study were to evaluate the rate of composite complete remission (CRc), measurable residual disease (MRD), event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and relapse between VAH and VA groups.

resultsA total of 32 AE-AML patients who underwent VA or VAH treatments (newly diagnosed with VA, ND-VA, n = 8; relapsed/refractory with VA, R/R-VA, n = 10; relapsed/refractory with VAH, R/R-VAH, n = 14) were included. The CR (complete remission) /CRi (CR with incomplete count recovery) rate of ND-VA, R/R-VA and R/R-VAH were 25%, 10%, and 64.3%, respectively. Measurable residual disease (MRD) negative was observed in 66.7% of R/R-VAH and none of VA-R/R patients. Co-occurring methylation mutations are associated with poor outcomes with VA but exhibit a more favorable response with VAH treatment. Additionally, patients with c-kit mutation presented inferior outcomes with both VEN-based regimens. All regimens were tolerated well by all patients.

conclusionOur data confirmed the poor response of VA in AE-AML, whether used as frontline or salvage therapy. Adding HHT to VA may improve outcomes and enhance the efficacy of VEN in this population.
