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

backgroundInterleukin-23 (IL23) has been reported to drive androgen receptor (AR) and JAK2-STAT3 signaling, promoting treatment resistance and disease progression in advanced prostate cancer (PC). We evaluated the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of the anti-IL23 monoclonal antibody tildrakizumab in combination with the AR pathway inhibitor (ARPI) abiraterone acetate (AA) in men with ARPI-resistant metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC).

methodsmCRPC patients of ECOG performance status (PS) ≤ 2, who had previously progressed on first-line ARPI therapy, were treated with tildrakizumab (100 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg; 4-weekly) in combination with AA (YonsaTM, 500 mg daily). The primary objective was to determine the recommended phase 2 dose. Secondary endpoints were elucidation of pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and antitumor activity.

resultsNo dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed, nor any grade ≥ 3 adverse effects (AEs). The most common treatment-related AEs attributable to tildrakizumab were grade 1-2 fatigue (n = 3/12; 25.0%) and grade 1 nausea (n = 2/12; 16.7%). PK analyses showed no obvious drug-drug interactions. Overall, no objective responses were observed. Median progression free survival (PFS) was 3.7 months (n = 10; 95% CI 1.6-not reached) with median overall survival (OS) of 9.7 months (n = 10; 95% CI 6.9-not reached).

conclusionsTildrakizumab and abiraterone acetate combination therapy is well tolerated but did not show clinical efficacy in this small, unselected, cohort of ARPI-resistant mCRPC patients. Further study into the causes of primary resistance to IL23 targeting in mCRPC, and development of biomarkers of downstream IL23-IL23R activity, are now needed to translate IL23 blockade into the clinic.
