PG - 993-8 LID - 10.3109/10428194.2014.941835 [doi] AB - Platelet derived growth factor-alpha (PDGFR-alpha) is expressed in peripheral T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS). Imatinib mesylate demonstrated in vitro cytotoxicity against primary PTCL, NOS cells. We initiated a trial of imatinib in 12 patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL). PDGFR-alpha expression by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to assess for FIP1L1-PDGFR-alpha fusion and/or PDGFR-alpha amplification were not required for study entry. We documented no objective responses. The median progression-free survival was 21.0 days (90% confidence interval [CI] 15.0, 28.0) and median overall survival was 154 days (90% CI 35, 242). Four patients had tissue available for analysis of PDGFR-alpha by immunohistochemistry and three of these patients' tumors expressed PDGFR-alpha. Imatinib was not effective for the treatment of peripheral T cell lymphoma in an unselected group of patients in which PDGFR-alpha expression was not required for study entry.
