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

purposeTo evaluate the safety, activity, and emergence of FLT3-kinase domain (KD) mutations with combination therapy of crenolanib and sorafenib in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD). PATIENTS AND

methodsAfter in vitro and xenograft efficacy studies using AML cell lines that have FLT3-ITD with or without FLT3-KD mutation, a pilot study was performed with crenolanib (67 mg/m2/dose, three times per day on days 1-28) and two dose levels of sorafenib (150 and 200 mg/m2/day on days 8-28) in 9 pediatric patients with refractory/relapsed FLT3-ITD-positive AML. Pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and FLT3-KD mutation analysis were done in both preclinical and clinical studies.

resultsThe combination of crenolanib and sorafenib in preclinical models showed synergy without affecting pharmacokinetics of each agent, inhibited p-STAT5 and p-ERK for up to 8 hours, and led to significantly better leukemia response (P < 0.005) and survival (P < 0.05) compared with single agents. Fewer FLT3-KD mutations emerged with dose-intensive crenolanib (twice daily) and low-intensity sorafenib (three times/week) compared with daily crenolanib or sorafenib (P < 0.05). The crenolanib and sorafenib combination was tolerable without dose-limiting toxicities, and three complete remissions (one with incomplete count recovery) and one partial remission were observed in 8 evaluable patients. Median crenolanib apparent clearance showed a nonsignificant decrease during treatment (45.0, 40.5, and 20.3 L/hour/m2 on days 1, 7, and 14, respectively) without drug-drug interaction. Only 1 patient developed a FLT3-KD mutation (FLT3 F691L).

conclusionsThe combination of crenolanib and sorafenib was tolerable with antileukemic activities and rare emergence of FLT3-TKD mutations, which warrants further investigation.
