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.

Abstract

objectivesThe primary objective was the safety of s.c. immunoglobulin, IgPro20 (Hizentra, CSL Behring) in adults with dcSSc. Secondary objectives included pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of IgPro20, and safety and pharmacokinetics of IVIG, IgPro10 (Privigen, CSL Behring).

methodsIn this prospective, multicentre, randomized, open-label, crossover phase 2 study (NCT04137224), patients (aged ≥18 years) with dcSSc were assigned to 16 weeks of IgPro20 (0.5 g/kg/week) followed by 16 weeks of IgPro10 (2 g/kg/4 weeks over two to five sessions), or vice versa. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), infusion site reactions (ISRs), clinical tests, pharmacokinetic and bioavailability were assessed.

resultsTwenty-seven patients were randomized from 9 October 2019 to 31 August 2021. In total, 22 patients (81.5%) experienced 107 TEAEs (IgPro20, 49; IgPro10, 58); most were mild/moderate. Six patients (22.2%) experienced 10 SAEs (IgPro20, 6; IgPro10, 4); no treatment-related SAEs and no deaths were reported. IgPro20 ISR rate was low (2 per 100 infusions). Maximum IgG concentration [mean (s.d.)] was numerically lower following IgPro20 [23.7 (1.2) g/l] vs IgPro10 [46.1 (1.2) g/l], as was the geometric mean dose-normalized, baseline-corrected area under the concentration-time curve from time point 0 to tau [IgPro20, 44.8 (1.4) h*g/l; IgPro10, 60.2 (1.4) h*g/l]. The bioavailability of IgPro20 relative to IgPro10 was 76.1%.

conclusionThis study shows that in patients with dcSSc, safety, pharmacokinetic and bioavailability profiles of IgPro20, and safety and pharmacokinetics of IgPro10, are similar to those observed in other approved indications.
