Preclinical studies of a Pro-antibody-drug conjugate designed to selectively target EGFR-overexpressing tumors with improved therapeutic efficacy.
Article in mAbs, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have exhibited potent clinical benefits in cancer therapy. However, development of ADCs against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has limitations because of wide expression of EGFR in both normal and tumor tissues. Previously, we developed an anti-EGFR protease-activated antibody (pro-antibody), termed as PanP, which remains inert against EGFR until activated by tumor-specific protease. Herein, we for the first time report a new class of pro-antibody-drug conjugate (PDC) against EGFR, denoted as PanP-DM1. It has been designed to selectively target the EGFR-overexpressing tumor cells and exert greater anti-tumor activity compared with PanP. Our data showed that PanP-DM1 also could be selectively activated by tumor-specific protease 'uPA'. Furthermore, activated PanP-DM1 was potently cytotoxic against EGFR-overexpressing tumor cell lines in vitro. Crucially, our data indicated that PanP-DM1 was significantly more effective in eradicating EGFR-overexpressing tumors in vivo. Additionally, toxicity was preliminarily evaluated in mice as measured by body weight loss. In summary, our study suggests that PanP-DM1, a novel pro-antibody-drug conjugate, has cancer-selectivity, efficacy and safety profile that supports its potential use for EGFR-overexpressing tumors.
