Trial report in Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03386513 (A Phase 1/2, Multi-center, Open-label Study of IMGN632 Monotherapy Administered Intravenously in Patients With CD123-positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Other CD123-positive Hematologic Malignancies), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

purposeBlastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a unique myeloid malignancy with CD123 interleukin-3 receptor-α overexpression and poor prognosis.

methodsThis phase I/II, open-label, multicenter study evaluated pivekimab sunirine (PVEK), a novel CD123 antibody-drug conjugate, 0.045 mg/kg once every 3 weeks, in adults with frontline (no previous systemic therapy and de novo BPDCN or coexisting hematologic malignancy) or relapsed/refractory BPDCN (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03386513) The primary end point in the primary analysis population (PAP; frontline de novo) was composite complete response (CCR; CR+ clinical CR) rate.

resultsOf 84 patients, 33 had frontline BPDCN (22 de novo [20 in PAP]; 11 with previous or concomitant malignancy) and 51 had relapsed/refractory disease. The median (range) age was 72 (63-76) years. In the PAP (n = 20), the CCR rate was 75% (95% CI, 51 to 91; n = 15; median duration: 10.6 [95% CI, 3.8 to not reached] months) and the median overall survival (OS) was 16.6 (95% CI, 7.2 to not reached) months. Eight of these 15 (53%) patients proceeded to stem-cell transplant (SCT). The corresponding rate for relapsed/refractory disease was 14% (95% CI, 6 to 26; n = 7; median duration: 9.2 [95% CI, 2.4 to not reached] months), and the median OS was 5.8 (95% CI, 3.9 to 8.4) months. Adverse events (AEs) included peripheral edema (54%), fatigue (26%), and infusion-related reactions (26%). Grade ≥3 events included neutropenia (16%), thrombocytopenia (14%), and peripheral edema (12%). Serious AEs included pneumonia (6%) and febrile neutropenia (5%). Two on-treatment cases of reversible veno-occlusive disease (VOD) occurred. Of the total 19 patients who proceeded to SCT, VOD was reported in five patients (four with relapsed/refractory BPDCN).

conclusionPVEK, with convenient dosing, led to high, durable responses, especially in frontline BPDCN, and a manageable safety profile.
