Novel Chimeric CTLA-4 B-cell Epitope Peptide Vaccines Demonstrate Effective Antitumor Immunity with/without PD1/PDL1 Blockade in Multiple Syngeneic Murine Models of Breast and Colorectal Cancers.
Article in Molecular cancer therapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cancer immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has resulted in impressive clinical results in several cancer indications. Despite this success, only a fraction of patients show durable and complete response to blockade by ipilimumab, an anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) mAb. We identified four CTLA-4 peptide sequences from which engineered chimeric B-cell epitope constructs incorporating a "promiscuous" T-cell epitope elicited highly immunogenic anti-CTLA-4 natural polyclonal antibodies by immunization. Combination of CTLA-4 peptide vaccine with other checkpoint inhibitor vaccines PD1-Vaxx or PDL1-Vaxx was investigated in several breast and colon carcinoma BALB/c syngeneic models (CT26, 4T1, and D2F2). CTLA-4 vaccines showed significant tumor suppression and prolonged survival rates as compared with anti-mouse CTLA-4 mAb 9H10. The resulting antipeptide antibodies suppressed tumor proliferation and migration similar to ipilimumab. We focused on one CTLA-4 epitope sequence 130 to 150 that embodies the "MYPPPY" motif that ipilimumab binds to. Combination of MVF-CTLA-4 (130-150) with either PD1-Vaxx or PDL1-Vaxx showed synergistic activity. The 130 to 150 peptide mimic demonstrated that the polyproline type II helix motif showed inhibition of tumor growth and therapeutic efficacy in the syngeneic CT26/BALB/c model. Several CTLA-4 vaccines have been identified that show synergistic activities with other checkpoint inhibitor vaccines to PD1 and PDL1.
