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

T cell-based immunotherapy has revolutionized oncological treatment. However, many patients do not respond to treatment, and long-term remissions remain rare, particularly in gastrointestinal cancers like colorectal cancer (CRC). B7-H3 is overexpressed in multiple cancer entities including CRC on both tumor cells and tumor vasculature, the latter facilitating influx of effector cells into the tumor site upon therapeutic targeting. We generated a panel of T cell-recruiting B7-H3xCD3 bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) and show that targeting a membrane-proximal B7-H3 epitope allows for a 100-fold reduction of CD3 affinity. In vitro, our lead compound CC-3 showed superior tumor cell killing, T cell activation, proliferation, and memory formation, whereas undesired cytokine release was reduced. In vivo, CC-3 mediated potent antitumor activity in three independent models using immunocompromised mice adoptively transferred with human effector cells with regard to prevention of lung metastasis and flank tumor growth as well as elimination of large established tumors. Thus, fine-tuning of both target and CD3 affinities as well as binding epitopes allowed for the generation of a B7-H3xCD3 bsAbs with promising therapeutic activity. CC-3 is presently undergoing good manufacturing practice (GMP) production to enable evaluation in a clinical "first-in-human" study in CRC.
