About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Gemcitabine and Ifosfamide As a Second-Line Systemic Chemotherapy for Cisplatin -Failed Advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Gemcitabine plus Ifosfamind as second line chemotherapy in advanced transitional cell carcinoma in terms of response rate and overall survival .

Read the detailed description

Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy produces a response rate of 40-70% in TCC patients. However, only less than 10% of the patients can achieve long-term remission. Until now, there is no standard chemotherapy for cisplatin-failed TCC patients. Both gemcitabine and ifosfamide have been identified to have response rates of 20% or more in pretreated TCC patients. It is thus reasonable to combine these two active drugs as a second-line treatment for TCC.

Patients enrolled must have a pathologically proven urothelial transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) and must have exposed to one cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy for the advanced disease. GI regimen will be continued until maximal response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine, Ifosfamide 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 19 inclusion and 11 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 25 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: 2000~2006). 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 25 Jul 2007.
