Mechanistic PK/PD modeling to address early-stage biotherapeutic dosing feasibility questions.
Review in mAbs. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Early assessment of dosing requirements should be an integral part of developability assessments for a discovery program. If a very high dose is required to achieve the desired pharmacological effect, it may not be clinically feasible or commercially desirable to develop the biotherapeutic for the selected target unless extra measures are taken to develop a high concentration formulation or maximize yield during manufacturing. A quantitative understanding of the impact of target selection, biotherapeutic format, and optimal drug properties on potential dosing requirements to achieve efficacy can affect many early decisions. Early prediction of dosing requirements for biotherapeutics, as opposed to small molecules, is possible due to a strong influence of target biology on pharmacokinetics and dosing. Mechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models leverage knowledge and competitor data available at an early stage of drug development, including biophysics of the target(s) and disease physiology, to rationally inform drug design criteria. Here we review how mathematical mechanistic PK/PD modeling can and has been applied to guide early drug development decisions.
