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.

Abstract

backgroundAnti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) monoclonal antibody therapy has been approved as second-line treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Unfortunately, the objective response rate (ORR) is not satisfied. T lymphocytes obtained by co-culture with personalized tumor-specific antigenic peptide-pulsed dendritic cells (DC), also known as multiple target cytotoxic T lymphocytes (MCTL) can restore the antitumor immunity and potentially improve clinical outcomes. We conducted a clinical study evaluating MCTL immunotherapy combined with toripalimab in patients with advanced NSCLC.

methodsThis single-center, open-label, phase Ib trial (NCT04193098) evaluated the combination of MCTL and toripalimab as second-line therapy in 21 patients with advanced NSCLC. Peripheral blood samples were collected for antigenic peptide analysis, and patient immune status was assessed. The primary and secondary endpoints were to evaluate safety and clinical outcomes, respectively.

resultsAmong the 21 patients, the ORR and disease control rate (DCR) were 33.3 and 76.2%, respectively. Median overall survival (mOS) was 24.1 months, and median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 8.6 months. Most patients demonstrated improved immune status post-treatment compared to baseline. Patients exhibiting pronounced immune enhancement following MCTL/toripalimab therapy tended to have better clinical outcomes. No significant adverse events (AEs) were observed during combination therapy.

conclusionIn this cohort of patients with advanced NSCLC, MCTL/toripalimab therapy demonstrated manageable safety and promising antitumor efficacy as a second-line treatment. Further studies are warranted to confirm these results.
