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

backgroundOBI-999 is an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of the Globo H-targeting antibody OBI-888 linked to the cytotoxic payload monomethyl auristatin E. In a dose-escalation study, the OBI-999 recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) was 1.2 mg/kg every 3 weeks. This dose-expansion study evaluated the efficacy and safety of OBI-999 in patients with pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer (CRC), or other tumor types ("basket cohort") and tumoral Globo H H-scores ≥100 (NCT04084366). PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients were treated at RP2D of OBI-999. We assessed response, progression-free survival (PFS), treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and pharmacokinetics of OBI-999.

resultsOf 29 patients treated, 23 were evaluable for response. Eight (34.8%) had stable disease): pancreatic cancer, 4 of 7; CRC, 2 of 8; basket cohort, 2 of 8. No objective response was noted. The median time on treatment was 22 days. No association between H-score and tumor size reduction was noted. Median PFS was 3.3 months, 1.3 months, and 1.4 months in the pancreatic, CRC, and basket cohorts, respectively. One patient (3.4%) experienced a serious TEAE related to OBI-999 (febrile neutropenia) that led to discontinuation of OBI-999; the TEAE resolved 3 days after onset. OBI‑999 showed consistent pharmacokinetics with comparable exposure at RP2D across cohorts.

conclusionsOBI-999 had a favorable safety profile. Although 34.8% of patients had disease stabilization, no objective response was noted, likely owing to inefficient antigen binding, suboptimal systemic exposure at the tolerated dose, and complex tumor biology.
