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

purposeAnti-Aβ Ab2 (Ab2) is a humanized monoclonal antibody against amino acids 3-6 of primate (but not rodent) amyloid β (Aβ) and is being evaluated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study was conducted to predict the human pharmacokinetics of Ab2.

methodsIn vivo PK profile of Ab2 in preclinical species and in vitro mechanistic studies in preclinical and human systems were used for pharmacokinetic predictions.

resultsIn Tg2576 and PSAPP mice that have ~100-fold higher circulating levels of human Aβ compared to humans, elimination of Ab2 was target-mediated, such that exposure was 5-10 fold lower compared to wild-type rodents or to PDAPP mice that have human Aβ concentrations in plasma similar to humans. In cynomolgus monkeys, the t(1/2) of Ab2 was faster (<2.5 days) compared to that of the control antibody (~13 days). The fast elimination of Ab2 in cynomolgus monkeys was linked to off-target binding to cynomolgus monkey fibrinogen that was also causing incomplete recovery of Ab2 in cynomolgus monkey serum in blood partitioning experiments. Ab2 had significantly weaker to undetectable binding to human (and mouse) fibrinogen and had good recovery in human serum in blood partitioning experiments.

conclusionsThese data predict that elimination of Ab2 in healthy or AD humans is expected to be slow, with t(1/2) similar to that observed for other humanized antibodies.
