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

Hemophilia A is a bleeding disorder resulting from deficient factor VIII (FVIII), which normally functions as a cofactor to activated factor IX (FIXa) that facilitates activation of factor X (FX). To mimic this property in a bispecific antibody format, a screening was conducted to identify functional pairs of anti-FIXa and anti-FX antibodies, followed by optimization of functional and biophysical properties. The resulting bispecific antibody (Mim8) assembled efficiently with FIXa and FX on membranes, and supported activation with an apparent equilibrium dissociation constant of 16 nM. Binding affinity with FIXa and FX in solution was much lower, with equilibrium dissociation constant values for FIXa and FX of 2.3 and 1.5 µM, respectively. In addition, the activity of Mim8 was dependent on stimulatory activity contributed by the anti-FIXa arm, which enhanced the proteolytic activity of FIXa by 4 orders of magnitude. In hemophilia A plasma and whole blood, Mim8 normalized thrombin generation and clot formation, with potencies 13 and 18 times higher than a sequence-identical analogue of emicizumab. A similar potency difference was observed in a tail vein transection model in hemophilia A mice, whereas reduction of bleeding in a severe tail-clip model was observed only for Mim8. Furthermore, the pharmacokinetic parameters of Mim8 were investigated and a half-life of 14 days shown in cynomolgus monkeys. In conclusion, Mim8 is an activated FVIII mimetic with a potent and efficacious hemostatic effect based on preclinical data.
