Cohort | 116 patients having metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer were chosen for this study and plasma samples were colllected from 88 patients. |
Senstivity | NA |
Specificity | NA |
AUC | NA |
Accuracy | NA |
Level Of Significance | p<0.001 |
Method Used | Multiplex cytokine assay |
Clinical | No |
Remarks | To find out the predictive value of imatinib. Based on a piecewise linear regression model for change in concentration of each cytokine as a function of the probability of change in p-PDGFR in vivo, only the dynamics of PIGF (P<0.0001) and soluble c-kit (P<0.0001) differed with imatinib therapy. Values shown in regulation represent: Means and Standard Deviations (in Parentheses) of Change from Baseline to Course 2 Day 1 of Chemotherapy for Each Cytokine Variable, Within Each Treatment Arm. |
Clinical Trial Number | NA |
Degree Of Validity | Not validated on independent patient dataset |
Technical Name | KIT |
