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

Cyclopamine (CPA), a potent inhibitor of the Hedgehog pathway, has produced promising anticancer results in a number of preclinical studies. CPA has also been found to enhance tumor response to radiation therapy. However, CPA is water insoluble. A drug delivery system suitable for systemic administration of CPA is needed before CPA can be considered for clinical translation. We hypothesized that CPA solubilized in a liquid-lipid nanoparticle system (CPA-LLP) for intravenous injection would have desirable pharmacokinetic properties and increased anticancer efficacy. We further hypothesized that CPA-LLP would enhance the response of tumor cells to targeted radiotherapy delivered selectively through intratumoral injection of lutetium-177 bound to core-crosslinked polymeric micelles (CCPM-(177)Lu). We tested the combination therapy in 4T1 murine breast cancer and Miapaca-2 human pancreatic adenocarcinoma models. The results showed that CPA-LLP had higher antitumor cytotoxicity than free CPA (IC50 values [mean±SEM]: 2.7±0.2μM vs. 11.3±1.2μM against 4T1 cells; 1.8±0.2 vs. 17.1±1.26μM against Miapaca-2 cells; p<0.0001). In both cell lines, CPA-LLP resulted in significantly lower clonogenicity than free CPA (p<0.05). Moreover, in both cell lines, CPA-LLP significantly enhanced the cell response to CCPM-(177)Lu radiotherapy as measured by clonogenic assay (p<0.05). In 4T1 and Miapaca-2 mouse xenograft models, the combination of CPA-LLP and CCPM-(177)Lu delayed tumor growth more than either monotherapy did alone. In the 4T1 tumor model, tumor size at 16days after treatment was significantly smaller with the combination therapy than with all the other treatments. In the Miapaca-2 model, the combination therapy resulted in the highest rate of mouse survival and prevented tumor relapse. In conclusion, the combination of CPA-LLP and CCPM-(177)Lu was an effective strategy for treating breast and pancreatic cancer and deserves further investigation.
