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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveHereditary angioedema presents as recurrent, unpredictable, and often debilitating attacks of cutaneous/submucosal swelling. This study assessed the characteristics and treatment patterns of patients receiving long-term prophylaxis with the plasma kallikrein inhibitor lanadelumab in US clinical practice.

methodsThis retrospective longitudinal study, based on a physician panel-based medical chart review, included patients with a diagnosis of hereditary angioedema due to C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency/dysfunction (HAE-C1INH-Type1/2), initiating lanadelumab in/after August 2018 (index date), and with ≥ 3 months' post-index follow-up (Part 1, N = 186) and, additionally, a dosing interval extension after initiating lanadelumab 300 mg every 2 weeks (Part 2, N = 75).

resultsPatients in Part 1 were predominantly aged ≥ 18 years (95.7%) with HAE-CINH-Type1 (90.3%); Part 2 included a higher proportion of patients with HAE-C1INH-Type2 (28.0% vs 9.7%). In Part 1, 115/165 (69.7%) patients with hereditary angioedema attack information experienced 371 attacks in the 3 months pre-index; these were mostly mild/moderate (60.4%) and most commonly affected the lips (38.0%) and hands (32.9%). In total, 19/155 (12.3%) patients had 39 attacks during the post-index period (mean ± standard deviation [interquartile range] attack rate: 0.1 ± 0.3 [0.0, 0.0] per month). In Part 2, a dosing interval extension was enabled by well-controlled disease (74/75, 98.7%); most patients (86.7%) transitioned from every 2 weeks to every 4 weeks dosing. Among patients with attack information, 7/72 (9.7%) experienced a hereditary angioedema attack while receiving an initial every 2 weeks dosing regimen and 4/75 (5.3%) after an extended-interval dosing regimen.

conclusionsLanadelumab dosing intervals can be individualized to maintain effective disease control. A dosing interval extension may be considered in well-controlled disease.
