About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Weekly Paclitaxel, Cisplatin and 24-Hour Infusion of High-Dose 5-Fluorouracil and Leucovorin(Weekly TP-HDFL) in the Treatment of Advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma(TCC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Weekly TP-HDFL in advanced transitional cell carcinoma in terms of response rate and overall survival.

Read the detailed description

Transitional cell carcinoma(TCC)of urothelium,including bladder, ureter, and renal pelvis TCCs, was the most lethal urology malignancy in Taiwan. In 1995, approximately 1,300 new cases of TCC was diagnosed in Taiwan and more than 600 patients died of this disease. Advanced TCC is a moderately chemosensitive disease. A combination of methotrexate, vinblastine, and cisplatin with or without doxorubicin (M-VAC or CMV) has been widely used since 1980s. Despite the response rate was as high as 40-70%, the survival of these patients was only slightly increased from a median of 7 to 9 months for those who were treated with supportive care or cisplatin alone to a median of 12 months by cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy. One of the reasons for the poor treatment results is the inevitable treatment-related toxicities related to conventional systemic chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracil in people with Transitional Cell Carcinoma, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 9 inclusion and 4 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 31 Jul 2007. 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 Taiwan. 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 rate (time frame: 2000~2005). 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 31 Jul 2007.
