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

purposeDatopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) is a humanized anti-trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (TROP2) IgG1 mAb linked to a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor payload (DXd). Dato-DXd has already shown antitumor activity in breast cancer; however, the determinants of response, including the importance of TROP2 expression, remain unclear. We tested the activity of Dato-DXd in a panel of breast cancer patient-derived xenografts (BCX) varying in TROP2 expression. EXPERIMENTAL

designThe antitumor activity of Dato-DXd and isotype-control-DXd (IgG-DXd) was assessed against 11 BCXs varying in TROP2 expression, 10 representing tumors postneoadjuvant chemotherapy. Pharmacodynamic effects were assessed at 24 and 72 hours. The effects of TROP2 expression on Dato-DXd activity was assessed in vitro and in vivo using viral overexpression in BCX-derived cell lines.

resultsModels differed in their sensitivity to both Dato-DXd and IgG-DXd. Dato-DXd (10 mg/kg) led to objective response in 4 (36%) models and statistically significant prolongation of event-free survival in 8 (73%) models, whereas IgG-DXd (10 mg/kg) led to response in 1 (9%) and prolonged event-free survival in 3 (27%) models. TROP2 RNA and protein were significantly higher in Dato-DXd-sensitive models. In isogenic cell lines derived from Dato-DXd-resistant BCXs, overexpression of TROP2 conferred Dato-DXd antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. Dato-DXd increased γH2AX and phospho-KAP1 in the two Dato-DXd-sensitive BCXs but not in a Dato-DXd-resistant BCX. In Dato-DXd-sensitive models, antitumor activity was enhanced in combination with a PARP inhibitor, olaparib.

conclusionsDato-DXd is active in breast cancer models. Dato-DXd has TROP2-dependent and -independent mediators of activity; however, high TROP2 expression enhances Dato-DXd antitumor activity.
