Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologic diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma (TCC or Squamous) that is either metastatic or locally recurrent and not curable by surgery or radiation therapy.
  • All patients must have tissue from either the primary or metastatic site tested for HER2 status determination. Patients with Her-2 negative tumors are not eligible for treatment on this protocol.
  • All patients must have a blood sample drawn for HER2 serologic testing.
  • If the available tissue is from the primary tumor and is HER2 negative and if the serum is negative, to qualify for the study a biopsy of a metastatic site should be done and the patient will be eligible ONLY if this demonstrates HER2 over-expression.
  • Patients may not have received prior systemic chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients may have received adjuvant chemotherapy if completed at least 6 months prior to beginning this protocol treatment.
  • Patients may not have cardiac disease and must have adequate cardiac function (ejection fraction > 50% or higher than the lower limit of institutional normal) as determined by a MUGA scan or 2-D echocardiogram within 4 weeks from registration, and no evidence of symptomatic coronary artery disease (baseline EKG must show no active ischemia). Patients must not have history of congestive heart failure.
  • If patients have received prior radiation therapy, disease must be present outside of radiated fields and at least 4 weeks must have elapsed since discontinuation of that therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating women may not participate.
  • HIV - positive patients may not participate. This is to avoid additional complications that immune suppression and HIV infection may cause due to the intense nature of the chemotherapy in this trial.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Evaluation of Trastuzumab (Herceptin), Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Gemcitabine in the Treatment of Advanced Urothelial Cancer

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with trastuzumab (Herceptin) along with the three other chemotherapy drugs, paclitaxel, carboplatin and gemcitabine, in patients who have advanced urothelial cancer. This clinical trial will also collect information (alternative therapy, response rates, overall survival) from enrolled patients with HER2 negative tumors who are ineligible to receive study treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Number of Toxicities Experienced by Treated Patients

    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the toxicity profile of combination of herceptin, paclitaxel, carboplatin and gemcitabine in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who overexpress HER2.

    Measured: 30 Days Post Treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trastuzumab, Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in people with Urologic Neoplasms, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 11 sites 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 7 inclusion and 2 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 21 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites 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?

The Number of Toxicities Experienced by Treated Patients (time frame: 30 Days Post Treatment). 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 21 Jan 2015.
