Repurposing NAMPT Inhibitors for Germinal Center B Cell-Like Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.
Article in Blood cancer discovery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) includes the activated B cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B cell-like (GCB) subtypes, which differ in cell of origin, genetics, and clinical response. By screening the subtype-specific activity of 211 drugs approved or in active clinical development for other diseases, we identified inhibitors of nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPTi) as active in a subset of GCB-DLBCL in vitro and in vivo. We validated three chemically distinct NAMPTis for their on-target activity based on biochemical and genetic rescue approaches and found the ratio between NAMPT and PARP1 RNA levels was predictive of NAMPTi sensitivity across DLBCL subtypes. Notably, the NAMPT:PARP1 transcript ratio predicts higher antitumor activity in BCL2-translocated GCB-DLBCL. Accordingly, pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of BCL2 was potently synergistic with NAMPT blockade. These data support the inhibition of NAMPT as a therapeutically relevant strategy for BCL2-translocated DLBCLs. Significance: Targeted therapies have emerged for the ABC subtype of DLBCL, but not for the GCB subtype, despite the evidence of a significant subset of high-risk cases. We identify a drug that specifically targets a subset of GCB-DLBCL and provide preclinical evidence for BCL2 translocations as biomarkers for their identification.
