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

Despite tremendous clinical responses and patient benefit in hematological malignancies, chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated limited success in solid tumors. Herein, we have scaled and augmented our previously described murine PBPK-PD model (Singh et al. mAbs, 2020) to characterize cellular kinetics (CK) and anti-tumor activity in patients with solid tumor malignancies. The model was able to integrate (1) differential kinetics of effector- and memory-phenotypes in peripheral blood (PB), solid tumors and other pertinent tissues (n = 8), (2) host-immune system dynamics with or without prior lymphodepletion chemotherapy (LDC) and its impact of CAR-T cell kinetics and (3) antigenic heterogeneity in patients. Model was developed based on digitized individual level CK, categorical antitumor activity and percentage tumor antigen expression dataset from following phase-1 dose-escalation studies: (A) anti-mesothelin CAR-T in multiple cancer indications (n = 15, cohorts w/ and w/o LDC), (B) gavocabtagene autoleucel (n = 7, w/ and w/o LDC) in multiple indications, (C) anti-glypican 3 CAR-T in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 13, dose-range 0.7-5.18 billion) and (D) anti-PSMA/TGFβ CAR-T in prostate cancer (n = 10, w/ and w/o LDC). The developed clinical PBPK-PD model was able to simultaneously characterize the CK and categorical anti-tumor longitudinal dataset(s) for each case study while accounting for antigen-expressing tumor burden in each patient. Moreover, model accounted for host-T cell population dynamics post LDC, which competed with CAR-T cell towards overall expansion and persistence post-treatment. Using model simulation, CAR-T cell expansion was found to be dependent on initial tumor burden and antigen positive tumor fraction. The developed PBPK-PD model could be leveraged as an effective tool in future to provide mechanistic understanding on CK-PD behavior of cell therapies targeting solid tumors.
