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

backgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a common and often fatal malignancy. The standard-of-care immunochemotherapy, R-CHOP, cures only about 60% of DLBCL patients. Improving this cure rate will likely require the effective translation of basic biology knowledge into clinical activities. We previously identified the cyclic-AMP/phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) axis as an important modulator of lymphomagenic processes. We also showed that the FDA-approved PDE4 inhibitor roflumilast can suppress B-cell receptor (BCR) signals, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity and angiogenesis. These data suggested that combining roflumilast with R-CHOP may be beneficial in DLBCL.

methodsWe conducted a single-center, single-arm, open-label, phase 1 study of roflumilast in combination with the standard of care, R-CHOP (Ro+R-CHOP), in pathologically proven, treatment-naïve, high-risk DLBCL patients.

resultsRo+R-CHOP was safe, and at a median follow-up time of 44 months, 70% of patients were alive and disease free (median OS not reached, PFS 44% (95% CI, 21-92). In this pilot series, we found that the addition of roflumilast suppressed PI3K activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and VEGF-A secretion in the urine. We also encountered preliminary evidence to suggest that the Ro+R-CHOP combination may be particularly beneficial to patients diagnosed with high-risk genetic subtypes of DLBCL, namely MCD and A53.

conclusionsThese initial findings suggest that roflumilast may be an alternative agent able to inhibit BCR/PI3K activity and angiogenesis in DLBCL, and that the testing of Ro+R-CHOP in a larger series of genetically characterized tumors is warranted. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT03458546.
