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

purposeIzalontamab (SI-B001) is a novel EGFR×HER3 bispecific antibody. This first-in-human phase I study presents the safety and pharmacokinetics of izalontamab. PATIENTS AND

methodsPreviously treated patients with locally advanced or metastatic epithelial tumors were enrolled in the dose-escalation or dose-expansion phases. The dose-escalation phase consisted of an accelerated titration and a "3 + 3" design with nine dose levels from 0.4 to 28.0 mg/kg. The dose-expansion phase included five dose levels from 6.0 to 21.0 mg/kg. Izalontamab was administered intravenously weekly or every 2 weeks in a 4-week cycle. Available pretreatment specimens were obtained to explore the relationship between EGFR/HER3 expression and efficacy.

resultsSixty patients were enrolled. Among the 60 enrolled patients, 49 had non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 6 had nasopharyngeal cancer, 3 had head and neck cancer squamous cell carcinoma, and 2 had other types of cancer. The most common treatment-related adverse events were rash (42%), paronychia (25%), and infusion-related reactions (23%). No drug-related death occurred. Izalontamab displayed a nonlinear pharmacokinetic behavior, and clearance at steady state seemed to be approaching a dose-independent value at 6 mg/kg and above. The best response included two confirmed partial responses in patients with NSCLC and head and neck cancer squamous cell carcinoma; 18 patients had stable disease, including NSCLC (n = 17) and colorectal cancer (n = 1). The recommended phase II dose for izalontamab was determined as 9 to 16 mg/kg weekly.

conclusionsIzalontamab was well tolerated and demonstrated preliminary antitumor activity in patients with locally advanced or metastatic epithelial tumors, supporting it as a promising therapeutic candidate for combination therapies, with a phase III study currently underway.
