Pilot study of humanized glypican-3-targeted zirconium-89 immuno-positron emission tomography for hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in Research square, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: Glypican-3 (GPC3)-targeted radioisotope immuno-positron emission tomography (immunoPET) may lead to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), thus facilitating curative treatment, decreasing early recurrence, and enhancing patient survival. We previously demonstrated reliable HCC detection using a zirconium-89-labeled murine anti-GPC3 antibody (89Zr-αGPC3M) for immunoPET. This study evaluated the efficacy of the humanized antibody successor (αGPC3H) to further clinical translation of a GPC3-based theranostic for HCC. Methods: In vitro αGPC3 binding to HepG2 cells was assessed by flow cytometry. In vivo 89Zr-αGPC3H and 89Zr-αGPC3M tumor uptake was evaluated by PET/CT and biodistribution studies in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model of HCC. Results: αGPC3H maintained binding to GPC3 in vitro and 89Zr-αGPC3H immunoPET identified liver tumors in vivo. PET/CT and biodistribution analyses demonstrated high 89Zr-αGPC3H tumor uptake and tumor-to-liver ratios, with no difference between groups. Conclusion: Humanized αGPC3 successfully targeted GPC3 in vitro and in vivo. 89Zr-αGPC3H immunoPET had comparable tumor detection to 89Zr-αGPC3M, with highly specific tumor uptake, making it a promising strategy to improve HCC detection.
