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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesEpcoritamab is a CD3xCD20 bispecific antibody approved for the treatment of adults with different types of relapsed or refractory (R/R) B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) after ≥ 2 lines of systemic therapy. Here we report the first results from a population pharmacokinetic model-based analysis using data from 2 phase 1/2 clinical trials (EPCORE

methodsPlasma concentration-time data included 6819 quantifiable pharmacokinetic samples from 327 patients with R/R B-NHL. A wide range of subcutaneous epcoritamab doses, 0.004-60 mg, was explored, with most patients (n = 298) following the approved dosing regimen: step-up dose (SUD) 1 of 0.16 mg on cycle 1 day 1 and SUD 2 of 0.8 mg on cycle 1 day 8, followed by a full dose of 48 mg administered weekly during cycles 1-3, biweekly in cycles 4-9, and every 4 weeks thereafter. Each cycle lasted 28 days. The data were analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling.

resultsQuasisteady-state approximation of a two-compartment target-mediated drug disposition model with first-order absorption adequately characterized pharmacokinetics of epcoritamab following subcutaneous administration. After the first full dose and at the end of the weekly dosing regimen (end of cycle 3), the estimated median time to maximum concentration (t

conclusionsEpcoritamab pharmacokinetics in R/R B-NHL were well characterized by the population pharmacokinetic model. No dosage adjustments are recommended in subpopulations based on body weight, age, sex, race, mild-to-moderate renal impairment, or mild hepatic impairment. The risk of immunogenicity was low. These are the first published results of population pharmacokinetic modeling for epcoritamab.
