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

aimsPolyethylene glycol (PEG) is used in many applications including drug development. Due to exposure to environmental products, there is a high prevalence of preexisting anti-PEG antibodies in the global human population. The presence of anti-PEG antibodies is a concern for potentially reducing the efficacy of therapeutics after administration and represents a risk of safety events after exposure to PEGylated drug products. We developed and validated a creative and sensitive method for the detection of anti-PEG antibodies in human serum to support clinical programs for PEGylated drugs.

methodsIn this method, biotin-PEG streptavidin beads were used to extract anti-PEG antibodies from human serum for analysis in an anti-PEG ELISA assay. The same serum sample was analyzed in an anti-drug antibody assay.

resultsThe anti-PEG antibody assay was validated with a screening cut point of 1.41 normalized signal, confirmatory cut point of 32.2% inhibition, sensitivity of 7.81 ng/mL and sufficient reproducibility, selectivity, and drug tolerance in accordance with the FDA 2019 Immunogenicity guidance.

conclusionThis method of removal of anti-PEG antibodies enables the use of a single sample to detect anti-drug and anti-PEG antibodies to support drug development programs.
