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

purpose[131I]meta-iodobenzylguanidine ([131I]MIBG) is a targeted radiotherapeutic administered systemically to deliver beta particle radiation in neuroblastoma. However, relapses in the bone marrow are common. [211At]meta-astatobenzylguanidine ([211At] MABG) is an alpha particle emitter with higher biological effectiveness and short path length which effectively sterilizes microscopic residual disease. Here we investigated the safety and antitumor activity [211At]MABG in preclinical models of neuroblastoma. EXPERIMENTAL

designWe defined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), biodistribution, and toxicity of [211At]MABG in immunodeficient mice in comparison with [131I]MIBG. We compared the antitumor efficacy of [211At]MABG with [131I]MIBG in three murine xenograft models. Finally, we explored the efficacy of [211At]MABG after tail vein xenografting designed to model disseminated neuroblastoma.

resultsThe MTD of [211At]MABG was 66.7 MBq/kg (1.8 mCi/kg) in CB17SC scid-/- mice and 51.8 MBq/kg (1.4 mCi/kg) in NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice. Biodistribution of [211At]MABG was similar to [131I]MIBG. Long-term toxicity studies on mice administered with doses up to 41.5 MBq/kg (1.12 mCi/kg) showed the radiotherapeutic to be well tolerated. Both 66.7 MBq/kg (1.8 mCi/kg) single dose and fractionated dosing 16.6 MBq/kg/fraction (0.45 mCi/kg) × 4 over 11 days induced marked tumor regression in two of the three models studied. Survival was significantly prolonged for mice treated with 12.9 MBq/kg/fraction (0.35 mCi/kg) × 4 doses over 11 days [211At]MABG in the disseminated disease (IMR-05NET/GFP/LUC) model (P = 0.003) suggesting eradication of microscopic disease.

conclusions[211At]MABG has significant survival advantage in disseminated models of neuroblastoma. An alpha particle emitting radiopharmaceutical may be effective against microscopic disseminated disease, warranting clinical development.
