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 NCT04404660 (An Open-Label, Multi-Centre, Phase Ib/II Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of AUTO1, a CAR T Cell Treatment Targeting CD19, in Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia), 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

In the single-arm Phase Ib/II FELIX study (NCT04404660), obecabtagene autoleucel (obe-cel; CD19-directed autologous CAR T-cell therapy) demonstrated high overall remission rates (ORR) and a favorable safety profile in adults with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). To contextualize results from FELIX, we compared the efficacy and safety of obe-cel with matched external control arms (ECA) derived from historical trials using propensity score matching. ECAs represented standard of care (SoC) non-CAR T-cell therapies: blinatumomab, inotuzumab ozogamicin, and conventional chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was ORR; secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS). Event-free survival (EFS) and safety were exploratory endpoints. Among the intent-to-treat population in FELIX (n = 107), obe-cel demonstrated significantly higher ORR than non-CAR T-cell therapies (67.3% vs 51.4%; odds ratio 1.9; p = 0.0257). Median OS was longer with obe-cel when censoring for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (15.1 vs 7.0 months; p = 0.0015) and without censoring (13.9 vs 7.8 months; p = 0.0430). EFS was significantly improved with obe-cel (median 9.8 vs 2.5 months; p < 0.0001). Safety profiles were comparable between groups, with similar rates of Grade ≥3 adverse events. Obe-cel offers superior remission rates and survival benefits over current SoC non-CAR T-cell therapies, with an acceptable safety profile; its use could address unmet needs in adult R/R B-ALL.
