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

backgroundLow drug concentrations have been linked to antidrug antibody (ADA) formation. High clearance is a major reason for low drug levels leading to treatment failure in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving infliximab (IFX).

aimTo explore the predictive value of initial IFX clearance on outcomes and assess the impact of Bayesian model (iDose)-guided IFX dosing on clearance and outcomes during induction and early maintenance treatment.

methodsData from a Phase 3 study of 220 CT-P13/originator IFX-treated patients with Crohn's disease were used to develop probability models for outcomes including mucosal healing (MHEAL), biomarker response [C-reactive protein (CRP)], ADA development, a composite endpoint and time to first ADA formation, based on initial clearance. Subsequently, patients with characteristics suggesting rapid initial clearance were enrolled in a ≤ 120-day (October 2018 to December 2019) compassionate use program of iDose-guided IFX treatment as a proof of concept to determine if the probabilities from initial clearance could be improved with individualized therapy. Serial serum IFX concentrations, clearance, outcome probabilities, and treatment outcomes were analyzed.

resultsIn the CT-P13 study, population pharmacokinetic was consistent with previously published models. Initial clearance was a significant predictor of several outcomes including MHEAL, CRP normalization, a composite endpoint ((1) CDAI at week 54 was at least 150 points less than baseline; (2) MHEAL at week 54; (3) CRP was in normal range at week 54; and (4) FCP was less than 250 at week 54) and ADA formation. In the proof-of-concept study, 10 patients received iDose-guided IFX treatment. Initial clearance ranged from 0.017 L/day to 1.11 L/day, prompting up to three IFX infusions within the first 2 weeks. Two patients were discontinued due to ADA. Generally, clearance slowed over time and inflammatory biomarker levels improved. There were no adverse effects.

conclusionInitial IFX clearance correlates with efficacy metrics and ADA formation. These probability curves may be useful to identify patients at risk of treatment failure or ADA who may benefit from individualized therapy. iDose-guided treatment successfully achieved targeted serum IFX concentrations, reducing risk of ADA formation. Proactive therapeutic drug monitoring and targeted dosing based on early IFX clearance may improve treatment outcomes for patients with IBD.
