Promoting antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis for effective macrophage-based cancer immunotherapy.

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.
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
Macrophages are essential in eliciting antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) of cancer cells. However, a satisfactory anticancer efficacy of ADCP is contingent on early antibody administration, and resistance develops along with cancer progression. Here, we investigate the mechanisms underlying ADCP and demonstrate an effective combinatorial strategy to potentiate its efficacy. We identified paclitaxel as a universal adjuvant that efficiently potentiated ADCP by a variety of anticancer antibodies in multiple cancers. Rather than eliciting cytotoxicity on cancer cells, paclitaxel polarized macrophages toward a state with enhanced phagocytic ability. Paclitaxel-treated macrophages down-regulated cell surface CSF1R whose expression was negatively correlated with patient survival in multiple malignancies. The suppression of CSF1R in macrophages enhanced ADCP of cancer cells, suggesting a role of CSF1R in regulating macrophage phagocytic ability. Together, these findings define a potent strategy for using conventional anticancer drugs to stimulate macrophage phagocytosis and promote the therapeutic efficacy of clinical anticancer antibodies.
