Source: FDA Pediatric Molecular Target List (Listed as February 2026 on the FDA Pediatric Oncology page; the file served is 9.7.22_the_relevant_molecular_target_list.xlsx, whose Summary of Changes sheet is headed 'SEPTEMBER 2022 UPDATE' (footnote date 2022-09-01)), 2026-11-11
• Haematologic cancer: yes · Haematologic

  Rule: From the indication, or the registry conditions when no indication matches. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00012298, 2026-11-12

  Published context: Likelihood of approval from phase 1: 7.5% haematologic vs 4.6% solid (BIO / Informa / QLS 2021, 2011–2020). Population-level, not a prediction.

• Background therapy: rituximab, filgrastim: standard agents, not counted in these flags.
• MS4A1 (via yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan): Evidence types in MALT lymphoma: literature, clinical; literature listed separately from human genetics. Datasources: clinical_precedence, europepmc. · Open Targets: MS4A1 in MALT lymphoma

2. Can the result be trusted?

• Randomised: no · Single group

  Rule: Registry allocation field. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00012298, 2026-11-12
• Small denominator: no · 81 enrolled; each patient moves a rate by 100 ÷ 81 = 1.2 points

  Rule: Enrolment under 30; the arithmetic is shown, not a benchmark. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00012298, 2026-11-12
• Primary endpoint is overall survival: no · Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Yttrium Y-90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan (Y2B8) With and Without Filgrastim (G-CSF) and Inte…; Toxicity of Single-dose Y2B8 Radioimmunotherapy With and Without the Use of Growth Factors (Phase I); Proportion of Patients Who Receive 2 Sequential Doses of Y2B8 Immunotherapy and Are Progression-free (Phase II)

  Rule: A registered primary outcome measure names overall survival. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00012298, 2026-11-12

  Published context: Non-OS primary endpoint: odds ratio 2.79 for a positive phase 3 (Otsuka 2021, 400 phase 3 oncology trials, to 2020). Shown with the next figure: a surrogate is easier to hit, and often a weak guide to survival.

  Published context: 52% of surrogate-to-OS correlations are low (Prasad 2015, published to 2014). Shown with the figure above.
• Results overdue: no · Results posted 2015-12-17

  Rule: Primary completion (actual) more than 12 months ago and no results posted to the registry. Source: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00012298, 2026-11-12
