About this study

Official title: A PHASE I/II INSTITUTIONAL STUDY OF INTRAVESICAL TAXOL (PACLITAXEL) INSTILLATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF SUPERFICIAL BLADDER CANCER

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients with early-stage bladder cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate toxicity and safety of intravesical paclitaxel in patients with superficial bladder cancer. II. Evaluate the efficacy of paclitaxel against transitional cell carcinoma in situ (CIS) and/or unresectable papillary superficial bladder cancer. III. Evaluate a dose-response effect and choose an appropriate dose for further clinical study.

OUTLINE: Cohorts of patients receive intravesical paclitaxel in escalating doses, administered twice weekly for 6 weeks, then once every 2 weeks for another 6 weeks, for a maximum of 2 courses at a dose level. Patients must complete 8 of the first 15 instillations and a 3 month cystoscopic exam with biopsy and cytology to be deemed evaluable. Participants are followed by quarterly cytoscopy and cytology for an additional 21 month period. Biopsies are performed at 3 and/or 6 months, and thereafter if clinically applicable.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 19 evaluable patients will be enrolled.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing paclitaxel in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at West Virginia University Hospitals at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002917, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2013.
