A triple-action PROTAC for wild-type p53 cancer therapy.
Article in Cell reports. Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Despite the central role of p53 suppression in cancer pathogenesis, the promise of therapeutic p53 reactivation remains unrealized, with targeted and combination chemotherapies limited by efficacy, toxicity, and delivery. To overcome these challenges, we introduce a triple-action proteolysis targeting chimera (TAPTAC) that simultaneously targets three oncogenic mechanisms to reactivate apoptosis. TAPTAC1 diverts HDM2 from degrading p53 to eliminating oncogenic targets such as BET proteins, while also blocking HDMX-mediated sequestration, thereby maximizing p53 reactivation in concert with cancer protein degradation. TAPTAC1 outperforms combination treatments and PROTACs that target HDM2 and BET proteins, but not HDMX, and is broadly effective in wild-type (WT) p53 cancers, including mouse models of osteosarcoma and leukemia. Importantly, TAPTAC1 leverages cancer dependency on HDM2 to enhance selectivity and mitigate toxicity. With WT p53 retained in 90% of pediatric and 50% of adult cancers, TAPTACs provide a therapeutic platform for addressing key limitations of prior anti-cancer strategies.
