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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesFocusing on pharmacokinetic-derived individual dose-intensity parameter values (DIPs), we modeled the pharmacokinetics of polyethylene glycol-conjugated asparaginase (PEG-ASNase) in all treatment phases and different trial groups of AIEOP-BFM ALL 2009.

methodsChildren with acute lymphoblastic leukemia received 1-10 weekly or biweekly repetitive doses (2500 U/m

resultsTreatment phase dependency and drug accumulation were modeled by up to -60% lower clearance and -30% lower volume of distribution compared with the first administration in induction. Apart from the impact of high preexisting anti-PEG-antibody levels on clearance in induction, no further impact of antibodies was identified. Independent modelling of the Italian data (conversion factor 1.23/1.42: ≤ 600/> 600 U/L) confirmed the model. Time above 100 U/L correlated to the time-interval between the first and last dose within a phase, whereas the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) was linked to the cumulative dose showing higher drug accumulation after repetitive doses than expected by linear extrapolation.

conclusionA popPK model was adapted to all phases and different trial groups integrating asparaginase antibodies as long as they did not lead to silent inactivation or allergic reaction. The model allows strategic development of trial schedules and the calculation of intended or realized individual DIPs.
