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

objectiveOncolytic viruses (OVs) are a growing immuno-oncology therapeutic class that rely on their capability to activate the dormant endogenous anti-tumor immune response in order to control or eradicate tumor cells. Given their intrinsic mechanisms of action and their biological nature, development of antidrug antibodies (ADA) represents an important aspect to consider during clinical evaluation. ADAs can potentially affect viral kinetics and/or dynamics, ultimately resulting in reductions or even loss of drug efficacy. Here, we present a semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model characterizing the interplay between V937 and neutralizing ADA in cancer patients receiving the V937 oncolytic virus.

methodsThe quantitative framework has been developed integrating viral load and ADA titers from 208 cancer patients who received V937 following intratumoral or intravascular administration, in monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab.

resultsThe model successfully captured both V937 time course and the dynamics of ADAs under the different settings, showing no meaningful impact of ADAs on viral kinetics. Moreover, tumor response was neither affected by the preexistence or development of ADAs, which can be explained by the primary role of the immune system in the response.

conclusionsThis quantitative and (semi-) mechanistic framework can be expanded to other oncolytic viruses and used to explore under which scenarios a relevant impact could be observed, thus supporting the development of novel oncolytic viral therapies.
