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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesBosutinib, an orally administered dual Src and Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is approved for the treatment of chronic phase Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia, newly diagnosed or resistant/intolerant to previous treatment of one or more TKIs in adults and children ≥ 1 years (by the US Food and Drug Administration) and ≥ 6 years (by the European Medicines Agency). Owing to the limitations of non-compartmental analysis in pharmacokinetic (PK) characterization, this study applies a prior population PK modeling approach to describe the pediatric PK of bosutinib on the basis of its phase I dose-finding trial and the available bosutinib adult PK knowledge.

methodsFrom 26 pediatric patients in the phase I part of the ITCC-054/COG AAML1921 trial, 235 plasma bosutinib concentration samples were analyzed. A published adult bosutinib population PK (popPK) model was used as the reference model; the frequentist prior modeling approach was used during model development to integrate adult PK information, especially for parameters with poor identifiability.

resultsBosutinib pediatric PK was well characterized by a two-compartment model with first-order absorption, an absorption lag time of 0.467 h, and allometric scaling with fixed exponents. The typical clearance was 74.9 L/h (normalized to 70 kg), higher than the reported adult value (56.3 L/h). Model-based simulations validated that the bosutinib recommended phase II dose (RP2D) could achieve the target exposure observed in adults and demonstrated the influence of higher clearance in pediatric patients.

conclusionsThis study presents the first pediatric bosutinib popPK model, integrating prior adult PK knowledge to enable robust PK characterization using a small pediatric dataset from an early trial stage. In addition, the model confirms a higher clearance in children and supports the RP2D concluded in the phase I dose-finding part of the ITCC-054/COG AAML1921 trial.
