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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundPatients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) face a poor prognosis in the absence of effective treatment options. Ibrutinib plus venetoclax demonstrated high response rates and a tolerable safety profile in the primary analysis of the Phase 2, M20-075 study (NCT04477486) in Japanese patients with R/R MCL. We report updated efficacy and safety from this study with longer follow-up.

methodsPatients received 560 mg ibrutinib and 400 mg venetoclax (5-week ramp-up to 400 mg) once daily for up to 104 weeks followed by ibrutinib monotherapy. Primary endpoint was Independent Review Committee-assessed complete response (CR) rate. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) in patients achieving CR, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.

resultsAfter a median follow-up of 37.2 months, 13 patients had received ibrutinib plus venetoclax, 8 (62%) remained on ibrutinib monotherapy, and 9 (69%) completed 24 months of venetoclax. ORR was 83% (10/12 [per-protocol population]; all CR); median DOR was not reached. All 6 patients positive for MRD at baseline who achieved CR had uMRD. Median PFS and OS were not reached. Most frequent Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were neutropenia (46%) and leukopenia (23%); one TEAE leading to treatment discontinuation was squamous cell carcinoma unrelated to treatment. There were no cases of tumor lysis syndrome or TEAEs leading to death.

conclusionLong-term follow-up of ibrutinib plus venetoclax showed prolonged efficacy and a well-tolerated safety profile in Japanese patients with R/R MCL.
