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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveMirikizumab is a humanized anti-interleukin-23-p19 monoclonal antibody being developed for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. This analysis characterized mirikizumab pharmacokinetics using phase II and III trial data from patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.

methodsSerum pharmacokinetic data in patients receiving mirikizumab 50-1000 mg intravenously every 4 weeks as induction treatment and mirikizumab 200 mg subcutaneously every 4 or 12 weeks as maintenance treatment across three trials (N = 1362) were analyzed using non-linear mixed-effects modeling. Covariate effects on mirikizumab exposure were evaluated using simulation-based estimations.

resultsMirikizumab pharmacokinetics was best described by a linear two-compartment model with first-order absorption. Clearance, volume of distribution for central and peripheral compartments, and half-life were estimated at approximately 0.022 L/h (linear), 3.11 L and 1.69 L, and 9.5 days, respectively. Statistically significant effects of body weight and serum albumin levels on clearance, body weight on central and peripheral volumes of distribution, and body mass index on bioavailability were observed but effects were small relative to random inter-individual variability (% coefficient of variation: 18-64%). The subcutaneous bioavailability of mirikizumab was 48%.

conclusionsMirikizumab displayed pharmacokinetic characteristics typical of a monoclonal antibody where clearance increased with body weight and decreased with the albumin level, and bioavailability decreased with body mass index. These effects were small relative to random variability, indicating that a dose adjustment for patient factors is not required. CLINICAL
