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.

Abstract

backgroundInterleukin-1 (IL-1) signalling is involved in various protumoural processes including proliferation, immune evasion, metastasis and chemoresistance. CAN04 is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody that binds IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP), required for IL-1 signalling. In this first-in-human phase 1 study, we assessed safety, recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary anti-tumour activity of CAN04 monotherapy.

methodsPatients with advanced solid tumours known to express IL1RAP and refractory to standard treatments were enrolled in a dose-escalation study with 5 dose levels (1.0-10.0 mg/kg) of weekly CAN04.

resultsTwenty-two patients were enrolled. Most common adverse events were infusion-related reactions (41%), fatigue (32%), constipation (27%), diarrhoea (27%), decreased appetite (23%), nausea (23%) and vomiting (23%). One dose limiting toxicity was reported. No maximum tolerated dose was identified. Pharmacokinetics analyses indicate higher exposures and slower elimination with increasing doses. Decreases in serum IL-6 and CRP were observed in most patients. Twenty-one patients were evaluable for response, 43% had stable disease per immune-related response criteria with no partial/complete responses.

conclusionsThe IL1RAP targeting antibody CAN04 can be safely administered to patients up to 10.0 mg/kg weekly, which was defined as the RP2D. Serum biomarkers supported target engagement and IL-1 pathway inhibition. CLINICAL
