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

The abundant cell surface asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is a highly selective receptor found on hepatocytes that potentially can be exploited as a selective shuttle for delivery. Various nucleic acid therapeutics that bind ASGPR are already in clinical development, but this receptor-mediated delivery mechanism can be saturated, which will likely result in reduced selectivity for the liver and therefore increase the likelihood for systemic adverse effects. Therefore, when aiming to utilize this mechanism, it is important to optimize both the administration protocol and the molecular properties. We here present a study using a novel ASGPR-targeted antibody to estimate ASGPR expression, turnover and internalization rates in vivo in mice. Using pharmacokinetic data (intravenous and subcutaneous dosing) and an in-silico target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) model, we estimate an ASGPR expression level of 1.8 million molecules per hepatocyte. The half-life of the degradation of the receptor was found to be equal to 15 hours and the formed ligand-receptor complex is internalized with a half-life of 5 days. A biodistribution study was performed and confirmed the accuracy of the TMDD model predictions. The kinetics of the ASGPR shows that saturation of the shuttle at therapeutic concentrations is possible; however, simulation allows the dosing schedule to be optimized. The developed TMDD model can be used to support the development of therapies that use the ASGPR as a shuttle into hepatocytes.
