Prognostic value of premaintenance FDG PET/CT response in patients with newly diagnosed myeloma from the CASSIOPEIA trial.
Trial report in Blood, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02541383 (Study of Daratumumab in Combination With Bortezomib), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
abstractThe CASSIOPEIA trial demonstrated superior progression-free survival (PFS) with the addition of daratumumab to bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (D-VTd) induction/consolidation, and with daratumumab maintenance vs observation in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). The companion study, CASSIOPET, assessed the prognostic value of premaintenance (PM) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) response, based on the standardized Deauville score on PFS and overall survival (OS), in addition to bone marrow (BM) minimal residual disease (MRD) detection by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) at 10-5 level. PM PET/CT was available for 225 patients: 112 patients treated with daratumumab after D-VTd (59) or bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTd; 53), and 113 patients followed by observation after D-VTd (56) or VTd (57). At PM, 92% of the 175 baseline PET-positive patients achieved PET negativity, with a longer PFS in univariate analysis (P = .019) and a major trend of prolonged OS (P = .056). In univariate analysis, patients who achieved both PET and MFC negativity were found to have a better PFS (P < .0001) than those who had at least 1 positive result. In daratumumab-treated patients, PM PET negativity was associated with prolonged PFS and OS in univariate analysis (P = .0023 and P = .033, respectively), and double MFC and PET negativity was independently associated with PFS by multivariate analysis (P = .0006). This study confirms the prognostic relevance of a PM PET response in patients with NDMM treated with daratumumab in addition to MRD detection by MFC at the BM level. This trial was registered at ww.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02541383.
