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

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a cancer with significant unmet medical needs and comprises 10 to 15% of all breast cancers and 15 to 20% of advanced breast cancers due to the limited therapeutic options. Many TNBC tumors are driven by aberrant activities of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (cMet), and vascular endothelial growth factor. We demonstrated how TAVO412, a tri-specific antibody that recognized cMet, dual epitopes of EGFR, and vascular endothelial growth factor could elicit antitumor activity in TNBC. TAVO412 showed inhibition of EGFR- and cMet-mediated tumor proliferation, enhanced Fc-mediated effector functions, and suppression of angiogenesis. The avidity of the dual-epitope based anti-EGFR and anti-cMet design had better signaling inhibition and cytotoxicity against EGFR-low expressing tumor cell lines than the JNJ-61186372 analog, a marketed EGFR/cMet bispecific antibody. Furthermore, TAVO412 exhibited anti-tumor activities in multiple TNBC cell line-derived xenograft models. Overall, TAVO412 demonstrated great preclinical utility against TNBC.
