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

backgroundMim8 is a novel, next-generation factor VIIIa mimetic in development for subcutaneous prophylactic treatment of patients with hemophilia A with and without inhibitors. In vitro and in vivo models indicate that Mim8 has a distinct hemostatic potential.

objectivesTo test the nonclinical safety and pharmacodynamics of Mim8.

methodsThe Mim8 nonclinical safety program in cynomolgus monkeys consisted of three studies of 4-26 weeks in duration with Mim8 doses ranging from 0.3-60 mg/kg/week intravenously or subcutaneously. After sacrifice, macroscopic and microscopic pathological examinations were performed.

resultsMim8 was well tolerated with no noteworthy clinical observations. No signs of excessive coagulation or pathological macroscopic or microscopic findings were observed at doses 0.3-3 mg/kg/week subcutaneous. Thrombosis-related findings were detected during histopathological examination in a small proportion of animals (16%) receiving doses ranging 6-20 mg/kg/week. Dose-dependent increases in factor X (FX) and factor IX (FIX) concentrations were observed. Shortening of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and increased thrombin generation under ex vivo hemophilia A-like conditions were observed at all Mim8 dose levels.

conclusionsThrombosis-related findings observed at doses above 6 mg/kg/week Mim8 may have been exaggerated pharmacological reactions to a procoagulant compound in normocoagulant animals. Increases in FX and FIX concentrations could be because of a half-life prolongation due to binding to Mim8, but were limited at clinically relevant exposure levels. Subcutaneous administration of up to 3 mg/kg/week (several fold greater than expected clinical exposure) for 26 weeks resulted in relevant pharmacodynamic effects, observed in thrombin generation and APTT, with no signs of thrombi or excessive coagulation activation.
