ONC201 (Dordaviprone) Induces Integrated Stress Response and Death in Cervical Cancer Cells.
Article in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death in women globally. Systemic chemotherapy offers only limited therapeutic benefit for advanced-stage disease due to toxicity and drug resistance. ONC201 (also known as TIC10 or dordaviprone) is a TRAIL (TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) and cIpP (caseinolytic protease) agonist currently in Phase II clinical trials for different types of cancer. In the present study, we investigated the anticancer potential of ONC201 in HPV-positive cervical cancer cell lines. ONC201 exerted significant cytotoxicity and inhibited the clonogenic potential of cervical cancer cells. It induced integrated stress response along with S/G2-M arrest and apoptosis in both cell lines. Yet, surprisingly, well-known targets of ONC201 viz. TRAIL, DR5 (death receptor 5) and cIpP were found to be upregulated only in HeLa but not in SiHa cells in response to ONC201 treatment. In addition, expression of BNIP3 and Beclin-1 (both involved in regulation of autophagy) increased in response to certain doses of ONC201. Furthermore, ONC201 exhibited synergism in combination with standard drugs against cervical cancer cells. This study provides a proof of concept for the anticancer activity of versatile drug ONC201 against cervical cancer cells and also delineates its mechanism of action.
