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

backgroundReceptor occupancy, or saturation, assays are often utilized in preclinical and clinical development programs to evaluate the binding of a biologic to a cellular target. These assays provide critical information regarding the dose of drug required to "saturate" the target as well as important pharmacodymamic (PD) data. A flow cytometric method was developed to measure the degree of Semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D; CD100) saturation by VX15/2303, an investigational monoclonal antibody specific for SEMA4D.

methodsThe assay detects VX15/2503, a human IgG4 specific for SEMA4D, with an IgG4 -specific monoclonal antibody.

resultsData generated allowed assessment of two related SEMA4D-specific pharmacodynamic (PD) markers: (1) The measurement of cellular SEMA4D (cSEMA4D) saturation by VX15/2503, and (2) the cell membrane expression levels of cSEMA4D.

conclusionsThis assay specifically and reproducibly measured cSEMA4D saturation and expression levels. Evaluation of the SEMA4D-specific PD markers were critical in determining the clinical saturation threshold of cSEMA4D by VX15/2503.
