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

Dendritic cells (DCs) electroporated with mRNA encoding CD70, CD40L and a constitutively active toll-like receptor 4 (TriMix-DC) have an increased T-cell stimulatory capacity. In a prospective phase IB clinical trial, we treated melanoma patients with intradermal and intravenous injections of autologous TriMix-DC co-electroporated with mRNA encoding full-length MAGE-A3, MAGE-C2, tyrosinase and gp100. We report here the immunological and clinical results obtained in one patient with a particularly favorable outcome. This patient had stage IV-M1c melanoma with documented progression during dacarbazine chemotherapy and received 5 TriMix-DC injections. Following DC therapy, a broad CD8(+) T-cell response against multiple epitopes derived from all four treatment antigens was found in the blood and among T cells derived from DTH biopsy. In addition, CD4(+) T cells recognizing different MAGE-A3-derived epitopes were detected in DTH-derived cells. A spontaneous anti-MAGE-C2 CD8(+) T-cell response was present prior to TriMix-DC therapy and increased during treatment. The tumor response was assessed with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission/computed tomography. We documented a partial tumor response according to RECIST criteria with a marked reduction in (18)F-FDG-uptake by lung, lymph node and bone metastases. The patient remains free from progression after 12 months of follow-up. This case report indicates that administration of autologous TriMix-DC by the combined intradermal and intravenous route can mediate a durable objective tumor response accompanied by a broad T-cell response in a chemorefractory stage IV-M1c melanoma patient.
