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

aimsCrovalimab is a novel C5 inhibitor administered first intravenously and then subcutaneously in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) naive to complement inhibition or switching from eculizumab or ravulizumab. Crovalimab showed efficacy and safety comparable to eculizumab in the pivotal COMMODORE 2 and supporting studies.

methodsWe characterized crovalimab pharmacokinetics and the relationship between exposure pharmacokinetic parameters and pharmacodynamic biomarkers, efficacy and safety endpoints using pooled data (healthy volunteers [n = 9], naive [n = 210] and switched [n = 211] patients). Pharmacodynamic biomarkers included 50% complement activity and free C5; normalized lactate dehydrogenase was a marker of haemolysis. Adverse events (AEs) of special interest, related serious AEs, related Grade ≥3 AEs and infections were assessed.

resultsThere was no clinically relevant difference in crovalimab concentrations between naive and switch patients. Bodyweight had a statistically significant impact on crovalimab clearances and volumes of distribution. Thus, the recommended dosing regimen used weight-based, two-tiered dosing (100 kg cutoff). Age did not have a clinically meaningful impact on crovalimab exposure. In COMMODORE 2, and the supporting COMMODORE 1 and 3 studies, complete terminal complement activity inhibition was achieved immediately at the end of the initial intravenous infusion and sustained throughout the treatment period in ≥97% of patients. Crovalimab concentrations above ≈100 μg/mL achieved complete inhibition of terminal complement activity, resulting in disease control with normalized lactate dehydrogenase ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). There was no increased risk of AEs at higher exposure.

conclusionsThese data confirm an effective crovalimab-dosing regimen that achieves complete terminal complement activity inhibition and disease control in patients with PNH.
