Clinical Validation of Venetoclax Volumetric Microsampling in Patients with Leukemia with Assessment of Whole-Blood-to-Plasma Conversion Strategies and Self-Microsampling Feasibility.
Article in Clinical pharmacokinetics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveVenetoclax shows substantial pharmacokinetic (PK) variability and frequent toxicity, making it an archetypal candidate for PK monitoring. Capillary microsampling may facilitate decentralized PK monitoring of venetoclax. However, clinical validation is lacking. This study aimed to clinically validate capillary microsampling for venetoclax and to assess the feasibility of home-based self-microsampling.
methodsAdult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) receiving oral venetoclax therapy provided paired venous plasma and capillary samples using dried blood spot (DBS) and volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) devices. We evaluated individualized hematocrit-based microsample-to-plasma correction models and previously published whole-blood-to-plasma conversion strategies. Agreement and predictive performance were assessed according to international microsampling validation criteria. The feasibility of home-based self-microsampling was evaluated by examining patients' ability to collect samples independently, the proportion of usable returned samples, and device usability.
resultsA total of 25 patients contributed 64 sets of paired venous plasma, DBS, and VAMS samples. Uncorrected DBS and VAMS venetoclax concentrations underestimated plasma concentrations (mean bias - 21% and - 14%, respectively) and showed clear hematocrit dependence. Individualized hematocrit-plasma/microsample ratio models showed excellent performance, with 95% of DBS and 91% of VAMS concentrations within ± 20% of plasma and low bias and imprecision across all validation metrics. Literature-based correction strategies showed lower acceptance rates and wider limits of agreement. Among patients attempting self-microsampling, 18 of 21 sampled independently, 76% of returned DBS/VAMS samples were suitable for analysis, and usability ratings were higher for VAMS than DBS.
conclusionsCapillary microsampling enables accurate venetoclax quantification in patients with AML and CLL when individualized hematocrit-based microsample-to-plasma conversion is applied. Both DBS and VAMS met international validation criteria, and home-based self-microsampling proved feasible. Venetoclax home-based self-microsampling warrants further study as a tool for decentralized PK monitoring.
