Randomized phase 3 trial of Ropeginterferon alfa-2b versus surveillance after tyrosine kinase inhibitor discontinuation in chronic myeloid leukemia (ENDURE/CML-IX).
Trial report in Leukemia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03117816 (Efficacy and Safety of Pegylated Proline Interferon Alpha 2b), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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
Treatment-free remission (TFR) after discontinuation of ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is an important therapeutic goal in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Interferon-α (IFN) has been suggested to promote durable TFR. The phase 3 ENDURE trial (NCT03117816; EUDRA-CT 2016-001030-94) prospectively tested this hypothesis in patients with stable deep molecular remission after TKI therapy. A total of 203 patients were randomised 1:1 to receive ropeginterferon alfa-2b (ropeg-IFN; 100 µg subcutaneously every two weeks for 15 months, n = 95) or observation alone (n = 108) after TKI discontinuation. The primary endpoint was molecular relapse-free survival (MRFS), defined as time to loss of major molecular response (MMR) or death. At a median follow-up of 36 months, 25-month MRFS was 56% (95% confidence interval (CI), 45-66) with ropeg-IFN and 59% (95% CI, 49-68) with observation (hazard ratio (HR), 1.02; 95% CI, 0.68-1.55; P = 0.91). Among 83 patients with molecular data after TKI restart, 79 (95%) regained at least MMR, 78 within 12 months (median 3 months, interquartile range: 2-4 months). Ropeg-IFN was well tolerated (median administered dose of 92 µg, range 3-104), and no new safety signals were observed. Ropeg-IFN maintenance did not improve the probability of sustained TFR after TKI discontinuation.
