Efficacy of Preexposure Prophylaxis with Monoclonal Antibody Tixagevimab-Cilgavimab against Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Resistant Variants in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
Article in Acta haematologica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionPreexposure prophylaxis with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) was developed in addition to COVID-19 vaccine for immunocompromised and those with insufficient immune response, among them patients with CLL. Omicron variant and its sublineages evolved mutations that escape mAbs neutralizing effect, yet the extent of which was not studied.
methodsWe evaluated anti-spike titers and neutralization activity of COVID-19 wild-type (WT), Delta, Omicron, BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5 before and after tixagevimab-cilgavimab (TGM/CGM) dose of 150/150 mg or 300/300 mg in patients with CLL.
results70 patients were tested 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after receiving TGM/CGM mAbs. After TGM/CGM, anti-spike ab level increased 170-folds from 13.6 binding antibody unit (BAU)/mL (IQR, 0.4-288) to 2,328 BAU/mL (IQR, 1,681-3,500). Neutralization activity increased in all variants and was 176-folds higher in WT and 55-folds higher in Delta compared to 10-folds higher in Omicron and its sublineages (BA.2 ×11, BA.4 ×4, BA.5 ×18). Over follow-up period of 3 months, 20 patients (29%) with CLL acquired COVID-19 infection, all recovered uneventfully. In a multivariate analysis, anti-spike antibody titer was found a significant predictor for post-TGM/CGM COVID-19 infection.
conclusionEfficacy of preexposure prophylaxis with TGM/CGM in patients with CLL is significantly reduced in era of Omicron and its sublineages BA.2, BA.4, and BA.5.
