| Bazedoxifene | Rhabdomyosarcoma | Predictive | D | Supports Resistance | 2 | accepted | EID7956Treatment with bazedoxifene inhibited cell colony formation in rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines RH30 and RD. Addition of excess IL6 reduced the inhibitory effect of bazedoxifene on colony formation. PMID 28672024 · Xiao et al., 2017 · Open in CIViC | civic |
| Cisplatin | Esophageal Carcinoma | Predictive | D | Supports Resistance | 3 | submitted | EID7851Two human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines, KYSE170 and TE13, were transfected with the IL6 gene. These cell lines produced 5-6 fold (KYSE170) and 16-17 fold (TE13) IL6 compared to contr… (full text at CIViC) PMID 21273582 · Suchi et al., 2011 · Open in CIViC | civic |
