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

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) has an unusually long serum half-life in comparison to proteins of a similar size. It is well-known that this phenomenon is due to IgG's ability to bind the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) in a pH-dependent manner. FcRn binding properties can vary among IgGs, resulting in altered in vivo half-lives, and therefore it would be beneficial to accurately predict the FcRn binding properties of therapeutic IgG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Here we describe the development of an in vitro model capable of predicting the in vivo half-life of human IgG. Using a high-throughput biolayer interferometry (BLI) platform, the human FcRn association rate at acidic pH and subsequent dissociation rate at physiological pH was determined for 5 human IgG1 mAbs. Comparing the combined FcRn association and dissociation rates to the Phase 1 clinical study half-lives of the mAbs resulted in a strong correlation. The correlation was also verified in vivo using mice transgenic for human FcRn. The model was used to characterize various factors that may influence FcRn-mAb binding, including mAb variable region sequence differences and constant region glycosylation patterns. Results indicated that the complementarity-determining regions of the heavy chain significantly influence the mAb's FcRn binding properties, while the absence of glycosylation does not alter mAb-FcRn binding. Development of this high-throughput FcRn binding model could potentially predict the half-life of therapeutic IgGs and aid in selection of lead candidates while also serving as a screening tool for the development of mAbs with desired pharmacokinetic properties.
