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

Bintrafusp alfa, a first-in-class bifunctional fusion protein composed of the extracellular domain of TGF-βRII (a TGF-β "trap") fused to a human IgG1 mAb blocking PD-L1, is being evaluated for efficacy and safety in solid tumor indications as monotherapy and in combination with small-molecule drugs. We evaluated the perpetrator drug-drug interaction (DDI) potential of bintrafusp alfa via cytochrome P4503A4 (CYP3A4) enzyme modulation, which is responsible for the metabolism of a majority of drugs. The holistic approach included (1) evaluation of longitudinal profiles of cytokines implicated in CYP3A4 modulation and serum 4β-hydroxycholesterol, an endogenous marker of CYP3A4 activity, in a phase I clinical study, and (2) transcriptomics analysis of the CYP3A4 mRNA levels vs the TGFB gene expression signature in normal hepatic tissues. Bintrafusp alfa was confirmed not to cause relevant proinflammatory cytokine modulation or alterations in 4β-hydroxycholesterol serum concentrations in phase I studies. Transcriptomics analyses revealed no meaningful correlations between TGFB gene expression and CYP3A4 mRNA expression, supporting the conclusion that the risk of CYP3A4 enzyme modulation due to TGF-β neutralization by bintrafusp alfa is low. Thus, bintrafusp alfa is not expected to have DDI potential as a perpetrator with co-administered drugs metabolized by CYP3A4; this information is relevant to clinical evaluations of bintrafusp alfa in combination settings.
