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

abstractDespite a recent increase in therapeutic options, patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R B-NHL) eventually require novel therapies. We conducted a phase 1 trial of blinatumomab and lenalidomide in R/R B-NHL. Three dose levels representing 2 schedules were explored. The primary end points were adverse events (AEs) and determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Thirty-five patients were enrolled, and 34 patients initiated treatment with a median number of prior regimens of 3 (range, 2-8). There were no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the first 2 dose levels. Dose level 3, 20 mg of lenalidomide daily on days 1 to 21 and days 29 to 49 of a 56-day induction cycle plus blinatumomab 9 μg/d continuous IV infusion (CIVI) on days 1 to 7, 28 μg/d CIVI on days 8 to 14, and 112 μg/d CIVI on days 15 to 56 was determined to be the MTD/RP2D. The most common grade ≥2 AE was neurotoxicity in 11 of 34 patients (32%), with 4 of 16 patients (25%) at the RP2D. At the RP2D, there was 1 DLT, a patient with grade 2 tremor and word-finding difficulty. For all patients completing induction, the overall response rate was 80% (95% confidence interval, 56-94) with a complete response rate of 70%, and 8 of 34 patients (24%) had durable remissions lasting >2 years. GranB+ CD56bright CD16dim CD11b+ natural killer cells and memory regulatory T cells in the peripheral blood at baseline were predictive of response. Concomitant administration of lenalidomide appeared to reduce blinatumomab-mediated T-cell exhaustion. In conclusion, encouraging activity was seen with blinatumomab and lenalidomide in heavily pretreated R/R B-NHL (NCI Protocol no. 9924).
