Characterization and Targeting of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor alpha (PDGFRA) in Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC).
Article in Neoplasia (New York, N.Y.), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
purposeInflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is arguably the deadliest form of breast cancer due to its rapid onset and highly invasive nature. IBC carries 5- and 10-year disease-free survival rates of ~45% and <20%, respectively. Multiple studies demonstrate that in comparison with conventional breast cancer, IBC has a unique molecular identity. Here, we have identified platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) as being uniquely expressed and active in IBC patient tumor cells. EXPERIMENTAL
designHere we focus on characterizing and targeting PDGFRA in IBC. Using gene expression, we analyzed IBC patient samples and compared them with non-IBC patient samples. Further, using IBC cells in culture, we determined the effect of small molecules inhibitors in both in vitro and in vivo assays.
resultsIn IBC patients, we show more frequent PDGFRA activation signature than non-IBC samples. In addition, the PDGFRA activation signature is associated with shorter metastasis-free survival in both uni- and multivariate analyses. We also demonstrate that IBC cells express active PDGFRA. Finally, we show that PDGFRA targeting by crenolanib (CP-868-596), but not imatinib (STI571), two small molecule inhibitors, interferes with IBC cell growth and emboli formation in vitro and tumor growth in vivo.
conclusionsOur data suggest that PDGFRA may be a promising target for therapy in IBC.
