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

GlycoConnect technology can be readily adapted to provide different drug-to-antibody ratios (DARs) and is currently also evaluated in various clinical programs, including ADCT-601 (DAR2), MRG004a (DAR4), and XMT-1660 (DAR6). While antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) typically feature a DAR2-8, it has become clear that ADCs with ultrapotent payloads (e.g., PBD dimers and calicheamicin) can only be administered to patients at low doses (<0.5 mg/kg), which may compromise effective biodistribution and may be insufficient to reach target receptor saturation in the tumor. Here, we show that GlycoConnect technology can be readily extended to DAR1 ADCs without the need of antibody re-engineering. We demonstrate that various ultrapotent, cytotoxic payloads are amenable to this methodology. In a follow-up experiment, HCC-1954 tumor spheroids were treated with either an AlexaFluor647-labeled DAR1 or DAR2 PBD-based ADC to study the effect on tumor penetration. Significant improvement of tumor spheroid penetration was observed for the DAR1 ADC compared to the DAR2 ADC at an equal payload dose, underlining the potential of a lower DAR for ADCs bearing ultrapotent payloads.
