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

backgroundNovel, accessible treatment options, are needed for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Mosunetuzumab, a T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody, plus polatuzumab vedotin, an antibody-drug conjugate, (Mosun-Pola), represents a novel fixed-duration outpatient therapy. The phase III SUNMO study (NCT05171647) demonstrated superior efficacy of Mosun-Pola versus rituximab plus gemcitabine-oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) in patients with R/R LBCL, with a manageable safety profile. We report outcomes of a Japan subgroup analysis of the SUNMO study.

methodsPatients were randomized 2:1 to receive Mosun-Pola or R-GemOx. Dual primary endpoints were centrally assessed overall response rate and progression-free survival (PFS).

resultsAt data cutoff (February 17, 2025), of 208 patients randomized (Mosun-Pola, n = 138; R-GemOx, n = 70), 16 were enrolled from Japan (Mosun-Pola, n = 9; R-GemOx, n = 7). All patients receiving Mosun-Pola achieved a response (100% [n = 9]) versus 57.1% (n = 4/7) for those receiving R-GemOx. PFS was significantly prolonged with Mosun-Pola; median PFS of 16.2 months versus 3.8 months with R-GemOx (hazard ratio: 0.42; 95% confidence interval: 0.07-2.63). In the safety-evaluable population (Mosun-Pola, n = 9; R-GemOx, n = 7), overall incidence of adverse events was similar between the Japan subgroup and the overall population across both treatment arms. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 5 patients who received Mosun-Pola; all events were grade 1, and all resolved. No incidence of immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome was reported.

conclusionsMosun-Pola demonstrated promising efficacy and manageable safety in patients with R/R LBCL enrolled from Japan, which was comparable with the overall population, supporting Mosun-Pola as a potential new treatment option in this patient population. CLINICAL
