Fc-Silenced CD89 × EGFR Bispecific Antibodies Promote Neutrophil and Macrophage Antitumor Activity.

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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesCD89 (FcaRI), the receptor for immunoglobulin A (IgA), is expressed on myeloid cells, including neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. It is known to mediate potent effector functions against tumor cells, but the clinical development of IgA-based therapeutics is hindered by manufacturing challenges and IgA's short plasma half-life.
methodsUsing yeast display, we generated EGFR × CD89 bispecific common light chain antibodies and investigated their biophysical properties, neutrophil-mediated cytotoxicity and macrophage phagocytosis in vitro.
resultsCD89-targeting constructs induced potent neutrophil cytotoxicity and macrophage phagocytosis in vitro. A symmetric 2 + 2 IgG1 Fc-silenced variant showed the most consistent potency across neutrophil and macrophage effector functions. Fc silencing enhanced neutrophil ADCC and did not induce detectable neutrophil or PBMC fratricide under the conditions tested, suggesting a limited propensity for off-target immune cell killing.
conclusionsThese findings support further preclinical evaluation of CD89-targeting bispecific antibodies and indicate that Fc silencing may differentially shape neutrophil- and macrophage-mediated antitumor activity.
