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

HER2 overexpression is frequently associated with tumor metastasis and poor prognosis of breast cancer. More evidence indicates that HER3 is involved in HER2-resistant therapies. Combination treatments with two or more different monoclonal antibodies are a promising strategy to overcome resistance to HER2 therapies. We presented a novel fully human HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody, GB235, screened from a phage-display library against the HER2 antigen. GB235 in combination with Trastuzumab overcomes resistance in HER2-positive tumors and results in more sustained inhibition of tumor growth over time. The competition binding assay showed that the epitopes of GB235 do not overlap with those of Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab on HER2. Further HER2 mutagenesis results revealed that the binding epitopes of GB235 were located in the domain III of HER2. The mechanism of action of GB235 in blocking HER2-driven tumors is different from the mechanisms of Trastuzumab or Pertuzumab. GB235 does not affect the heterodimerization of HER2 and HER3, whereas the GB235 combined treatment with Trastuzumab significantly inhibited heregulin-induced HER3 phosphorylation and downstream signaling. Moreover, GB235 in combination with Trastuzumab reversed the resistance to heregulin-induced proliferation in HER2-overexpressing cancer cell lines. GB235 combined with Trastuzumab treatment in xenograft models resulted in improved antitumor activity. Complete tumor suppression was observed in the HER2-positive NCI-N87 xenograft model treated with the combination treatment with GB235 and Trastuzumab. In a Trastuzumab-resistant patient-derived tumor xenograft model GA0060, GB235 plus Trastuzumab reversed the resistance to Trastuzumab monotherapy. Because GB235 showed a different working mechanism with Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab, these agents can be considered complementary therapy against HER2 overexpression tumors.
