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

The objective of this work was to develop a translational physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), using monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE)-based ADCs. A previously established dual-structured whole-body PBPK model for MMAE-based ADCs in mice was scaled to higher species (i.e., rats and monkeys) and humans. Species-specific physiological and drug-related parameters for the payload and antibody backbone of ADCs were obtained from literature. Parameters associated with payload release, including the deconjugation rate, were optimized using an allometric scaling approach, and antibody degradation rate was adjusted to account for the enhanced clearance of ADCs due to conjugation across different species. The translational PBPK model predicted the PK profiles for various ADC analytes in rats, monkeys, and humans reasonably well. The optimized PBPK model suggested decreased rate of deconjugation for ADCs in higher species, whereas the effects of payload conjugation on ADC clearance were more pronounced in higher species and humans. The translational PBPK model presented here may enable prediction of different ADC analyte PK at the site-of-action, offering valuable insights for the development of exposure-response relationships for ADCs. The modeling framework presented here can also serve as a platform for the development of PBPK model for other ADCs.
