Adoptive therapy of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with antibody coated immune cells: a pilot clinical trial.
Trial report in Cancer immunology, immunotherapy : CII, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
backgroundCatumaxomab is an antibody that binds with one arm epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) positive tumors and with the other arm CD3+ T cells. Intravenous application of therapeutic antibodies may result in intravascular cytokine release.
aimIn this pilot trial we assessed whether cytokine release can be controlled by ex vivo cell opsonization and cytokine wash-out before administration of catumaxomab, preserving its anti-cancer activity. In addition, preliminary data on safety of and clinical response to catumaxomab coated autologous immune cells were acquired.
methodsPeripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) of four patients with recurrent head and neck carcinoma were collected by leukapheresis, incubated ex vivo with catumaxomab for 24 h and cleared from released cytokines. Each patient received an escalated number of antibody-coated PBMNC equivalent to 1 x 10(4), 1 x 10(5), 1 x 10(6) and 1 x 10(7) CD3(+) cells/kgBW intravenously at bi-weekly intervals.
resultsAfter opsonization, PBMNC released substantial amounts of interferon gamma (IFNgamma) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) in vitro, which were removed before administration. Catumaxomab up-regulated CD25, CD69, and CD83 on PBMNC, and catumaxomab loaded PBMNC released IFNgamma and granzyme B when coincubated with EpCAM(+) BHY cells, suggesting cell activation and target directed biological activity. During the study period, one patient died of aspiration pneumonia and one patient needed a tracheotomy. Treatment related adverse events (AE) occurred at the highest cell dose in two patients, whereas 1 x 10(6) loaded CD3(+) cells/kgBW were well tolerated by all patients. One patient showed stable disease for 6 months and one patient is in complete remission for 27 months.
conclusionEx vivo opsonization of PBMNC with catumaxomab provided biologically active, tumor targeting cells. Extracorporeal PBMNC coating may be an option to control intravascular cytokine release induced by therapeutic antibodies.
