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

Despite recent advances in treatment, breast cancer remains the second-most common cause of cancer death among American women. A greater understanding of the molecular characteristics of breast tumors could ultimately lead to improved tumor-targeted treatment options, particularly for subsets of breast cancer patients with unmet needs. Using an unbiased genomics approach to uncover membrane-localized tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), we have identified glial cell line derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family receptor α 1 (GFRA1) as a breast cancer TAA. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed that GFRA1 displays a limited normal tissue expression profile coupled with overexpression in specific breast cancer subsets. The cell surface localization as determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and the rapid internalization kinetics of GFRA1 makes it an ideal target for therapeutic exploitation as an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). Here, we describe the development of a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD)-armed, GFRA1-targeted ADC that demonstrates cytotoxicity in GFRA1-positive cell lines and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. The safety profile of the rat cross-reactive GFRA1-PBD was assessed in a rat toxicology study to find transient cellularity reductions in the bone marrow and peripheral blood, consistent with known off-target effects of PBD ADC's. These studies reveal no evidence of on-target toxicity and support further evaluation of GFRA1-PBD in GFRA1-positive tumors.
