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

abstractFms-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) occurs in ∼15% of pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with a high relapse risk with conventional chemotherapy. Gilteritinib is a selective, next-generation FLT3 inhibitor (FLT3i) approved for adults with relapsed/refractory FLT3-mutated AML, but pediatric-specific data remain limited. The multinational phase 1/2 SKIPPER study evaluated gilteritinib combined with fludarabine and cytarabine chemotherapy and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (FLAG) in children and adolescents/young adults with relapsed/refractory FLT3-ITD AML. Nine patients, aged 8 to 15 years, were enrolled in phase 1 of the study between 2020 and 2023. Recruitment challenges, including disease rarity, off-label FLT3i availability, and competing trials, led to study termination after phase 1. The composite complete remission rate in the study population was 66.7% (95% confidence interval, 29.9-92.5). The 2-year event-free and overall survival probabilities were 41.7% and 55.6%, respectively. Treatment-emergent adverse events, most commonly reversible hepatic enzyme elevations and cytopenias, were consistent with known toxicity profiles of gilteritinib and FLAG. Pharmacokinetic parameters were comparable to those of adults, and pharmacodynamic plasma inhibitory activity assays confirmed sustained FLT3 inhibition. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the recommended phase 2 dose of gilteritinib was established at 2 mg/kg per day for patients aged ≥2 years. The gilteritinib and FLAG regimen had manageable safety, induced high remission rates, and enabled allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for several patients. Although limited by a small sample size, these findings support further evaluation of gilteritinib in pediatric patients with FLT3-mutated AML, particularly in frontline settings. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT04240002.
