About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of PS-341 (Bortezomib) in Patients With Previously Treated Advanced Urothelial Tract Transitional Cell Carcinoma

Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well bortezomib works in treating patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the efficacy of PS-341 in patients with measurable advanced urothelial transitional cell carcinoma who have not responded to, or have relapsed after one prior conventional chemotherapy.

II. To determine the safety and toxicity of PS-341 administered in this group of patients.

III. To estimate duration of objective response, progression-free survival and overall survival in this group of patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients with a solitary site of disease (i.e., lung or nodal metastases) and who have a partial response (PR) may be considered for surgical resection. Patients with a PR with residual disease after salvage surgery are eligible to continue study therapy. Patients who achieve a complete response, either through resection or bortezomib therapy, receive 2 additional courses of study therapy.

Patients are followed every 6 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 13-17 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response rates (CR+PR) determined according to the RECIST criteria

    95% confidence intervals will be computed using the binomial distribution.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Duration of objective response

    The Kaplan-Meier product-limit method will be used to estimate.

    Measured: From the date of the first CR or PR to the date that the patient had disease progression (or death), assessed up to 6 years

  2. Toxicity by type, frequency, and severity

    95% confidence intervals for the toxicity rates will be computed using the binomial distribution.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  3. Progression free survival

    The Kaplan-Meier product-limit method will be used to estimate.

    Measured: From the date of initiation of treatment to date of progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 6 years

  4. Overall survival

    The Kaplan-Meier product-limit method will be used to estimate.

    Measured: From the date of initiation of treatment to date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib in people with Metastatic Transitional Cell Cancer of the Renal Pelvis and Ureter and Recurrent Bladder Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 28 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 5 Jun 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 phase mean?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rates (CR+PR) determined according to the RECIST criteria (time frame: Up to 6 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Jun 2013.
