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

purposeTherapeutic depletion of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Treg) may overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapies. RG6292 is an anti-CD25 antibody that preferentially depletes Tregs while preserving effector T-cell functions in preclinical models. The safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor efficacy of selective Treg depletion by RG6292 administered as monotherapy or in combination with atezolizumab were evaluated in two phase I studies. PATIENTS AND

methodsAdult patients with advanced solid tumors were administered intravenous RG6292, given every 3 weeks alone (study 1: NCT04158583, n = 76) or with 1,200 mg atezolizumab every 3 weeks (study 2: NCT04642365, n = 49). Both studies included dose escalation and expansion parts to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose.

resultsRG6292 was well tolerated. Pruritus and rash were the most frequent adverse events and were manageable with supportive treatment. Serum RG6292 levels increased dose proportionally, independent of the atezolizumab combination. RG6292 induced a sustained dose-dependent depletion of peripheral Tregs with no apparent effect on other immune cells. Evidence of intratumoral Treg reduction (≥50% vs. baseline) was observed at RG6292 doses of 35 to 100 mg. The maximum tolerated dose was 165 mg every 3 weeks, and the recommended phase II dose was proposed as 70 mg every 3 weeks. Objective responses were limited to three partial responses in patients receiving RG6292 combined with atezolizumab.

conclusionsRG6292 induced a dose-dependent peripheral blood and measurable intratumoral Treg depletion in concordance with the proposed mode of action; however, clinical efficacy as a single agent or combined with atezolizumab was insufficient to warrant further exploration in this population. SIGNIFICANCE: RG6292 (vopikitug) targets CD25 (IL-2Rα) and mediates regulatory T-cell depletion while not interfering with IL-2 signaling. Peripheral and intratumoral Treg depletion was shown in two phase I studies. However, RG6292 alone or in combination with atezolizumab was insufficient to reverse and rescue from established resistance mechanisms in solid tumors.
