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

backgroundSAR443216 is an engineered human trispecific antibody that targets human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive (HER2+) cancer cells and activates T cells via co-engagement of cluster of differentiation (CD)3 and CD28. This first-in-human, dose-escalation study evaluated the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of SAR443216 in participants with relapsed/refractory (R/R) HER2-expressing solid tumors.

methodsIn this multicenter, open-label, non-randomized Phase 1 study (NCT05013554), SAR443216 was administered intravenously at dose levels (DLs) of 18-900 µg. Dose escalation occurred within participants using intraparticipant lead-in dosing (2-week and 3-week lead-in cohorts). The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD); secondary objectives included PK, immunogenicity, and preliminary clinical activity.

results40 participants (n≥3 at each DL) were treated with SAR443216. The median treatment duration was ~8 weeks in both 2-week and 3-week lead-in cohorts. Nearly all participants (97.5%) had at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), of which 45% were grade ≥3. Most frequent TEAEs were cytokine release syndrome (CRS, 50%), fever (35%), alanine aminotransferase elevation (32.5%), aspartate aminotransferase elevation (27.5%), and infusion-related reactions (IRRs, 27.5%). No severe CRS, IRRs, fever, or pulmonary and cardiac toxicities were observed. Disease control rates were 34.5% in the 2-week and 36.4% in the 3-week lead-in cohorts. Average duration of disease stabilization was 10.48 weeks. Median follow-up time was 3.43 weeks. No objective responses were observed. The MTD was not reached. Dose-dependent PK showed overall consistent PK profiles across DLs. SAR443216 induced serum proinflammatory cytokines and increased multiple T-cell activation markers in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, indicating T-cell activation and target engagement. However, no clear trend in T-cell abundance or activation was observed among tumor-infiltrating T cells or other immune cells.

conclusionThese findings indicate that SAR443216 treatment is feasible and well tolerated in participants with R/R HER2+solid tumors. Further evaluation is warranted to fully characterize the efficacy and safety of SAR443216. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05013554.
