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

backgroundEnzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) approved for Fabry disease require infusions every 2 weeks (E2W). Pegunigalsidase alfa, a PEGylated ERT with a prolonged half-life vs. other ERTs, may allow extension of the dosing interval to every 4 weeks (E4W). BRIGHT F51 (NCT03614234) is an ongoing phase III, open-label extension study evaluating long-term efficacy and safety of pegunigalsidase alfa 2 mg/kg E4W in adults with Fabry disease previously treated with agalsidase alfa or beta E2W for ≥ 3 years who completed one year of pegunigalsidase alfa treatment in the BRIGHT study. This interim analysis reports results following 3–5 years of treatment (cutoff date December 31, 2022).

resultsTwenty-nine patients were enrolled. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) annualized eGFR slope during treatment was ‒2.2 (‒2.9; ‒1.1) mL/min/1.73 m2/year (males: ‒2.4 [‒2.9; ‒1.0, n = 23]; females: ‒1.8 [‒2.4; ‒1.3, n = 6]; anti-drug antibody [ADA]-positive: ‒2.6 [‒4.0; ‒1.7, n = 9 all male]; ADA-negative: ‒1.8 [‒2.7; ‒0.6, n = 20]). Median (IQR) change in plasma lyso-Gb3 from baseline to Week 208 was 3.2 (‒3.9; 8.5, n = 17) nM in males; concentrations remained low and stable in females. Overall, 51/477 treatment-emergent adverse events in 13 patients (45%) were considered treatment-related (all mild/moderate). Nine patients (31%) experienced mild/moderate infusion-related reactions. One patient developed transient de novo ADAs.

conclusionsLong-term treatment with pegunigalsidase alfa 2 mg/kg E4W was well-tolerated and maintained disease stability, especially in females and ADA-negative males; more data are needed to better understand outcomes in ADA-positive males. Clinical outcomes should be closely monitored during E4W treatment. The final results of this extension study will further assess the feasibility of this dosing regimen.
