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

backgroundThe adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cells targeting the HLA-A2-restricted epitope NY-ESO-1

methodsWe compared the function of a supraphysiological affinity A2/NY TCR (wtc51m), a computationally designed TCR in an optimal affinity range (DMβ), and a near non-binding TCR (V49I), engineered in both primary human and murine T cells by lentiviral and retroviral transduction, respectively. We evaluated a variety of strategies to stably express A2Kb:NY on the surface of mouse tumor cell lines including B16 melanoma, ultimately achieving success with an SCT comprising human β2m fused by GS linkers to both the NY-peptide and to α1 of the HLA complex. ACT studies were performed in B16-A2Kb:NY tumor-bearing, non-preconditioned immune-competent HLA-A*0201/H-2Kb (A2Kb) transgenic C57BL/6 mice and tumors characterized post-transfer.

resultsWe observed significantly improved function of DMβ-T cells as well as superior infiltration and tumor control upon ACT as compared to the control TCR-T cells. Moreover, with our chimeric syngeneic tumor model, we were able to track dynamic and favorable changes in the TME upon DMβ-T cell transfer.

conclusionsWe have developed a robust, simple, and inexpensive preclinical strategy for evaluating human TCRs in the context of a fully competent murine immune system that can aid in the development of coengineered TCR-T cells and combination treatments translated to the clinic.
