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

backgroundTriple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype characterized with poor prognosis and high metastatic potential. Although traditional chemotherapy, radiation, and surgical resection remain the standard treatment options for TNBC, bispecific antibody-based immunotherapy is emerging as new strategy in TNBC treatment. Here, we found that the receptor tyrosine kinase-like Orphan Receptor 1 (ROR1) was highly expressed in TNBC but minimally expressed in normal tissue. A bispecific ROR1-targeted CD3 T cell engager (TCE) was designed in IgG-based format with extended half-life.

methodThe expression of ROR1 in TNBC was detected by RT-qPCR and immunohistology analysis. The killing of ROR1/CD3 antibody on TNBC cells was determined by the in vitro cytotoxicity assay and in vivo PBMC reconstituted mouse model. The activation of ROR1/CD3 on T cells was analyzed by the flow cytometry and ELISA assay. Pharmacokinetics study of ROR1/CD3 was performed in mouse.

resultsThe ROR1/CD3 TCE triggered T cell activation and proliferation, which showed potent and specific killing to TNBC cells in ROR1-depedent manner. In vivo mouse model indicated that ROR1/CD3 TCE redirected the cytotoxic activity of T cells to lyse TNBC cells and induced significant tumor regression. Additionally, the ROR1/CD3 bispecific antibody exhibited an extended half-life in mouse, which may enable intermittent administration in clinic.

conclusionsCollectively, these results demonstrated that ROR1/CD3 TCE has a promising efficacy profile in preclinical studies, which suggested it as a possible option for the treatment of ROR1-expressing TNBC.
