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

  • Histologically proven locally advanced disease or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium including bladder, urethra, ureter, and renal pelvis. Patients should not be suitable for surgery or radiation with curative intent. However patients whose pre-chemotherapy sites of disease are restricted to the primary or regional lymph node sites and who have a major response to chemotherapy will be evaluated for post-chemotherapy surgical resection of residual cancer if the tumor has become resectable at the end of chemotherapy.
  • Measurable disease status, as defined in the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (Therasse et al., 2000)
  • One course of prior radiation therapy is allowed. Prior radiation must have been completed at least 4 weeks before enrolment into the study and the patients must have recovered from all toxic effects.

Who cannot join

  • Have central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastases (unless the patient has completed successful local therapy for CNS metastases and has been off corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks before starting study therapy). A screening computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before enrollment in the absence of a clinical suspicion of brain metastases is not required.
  • Inability to interrupt aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents 2 days before, the day of, and 2 days after the dose of pemetrexed plus cisplatin or cisplatin alone. If a patient is taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or salicylate with a long half-life (for example, naproxen, piroxicam, diflunisal) it should not be taken 5 days before the dose of pemetrexed (8-day period for long-acting agents such as piroxicam), the day of, and 2 days after the dose of pemetrexed plus cisplatin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Best Overall Tumor Response

    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment. Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease (SD) = small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 620 days)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Time to Response

    Defined as time from study enrollment to the first Complete Response or Partial Response (using RECIST criteria). Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: baseline to response (up to 620 days)

  2. Duration of Response

    The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause. Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: time of response to progressive disease (up to 620 days)

  3. Duration of Stable Disease

    Defined as time from study enrollment to the first progression of disease, complete response, partial response, or death from any cause. Complete response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR) = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease (SD) = small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: time of no response or progression (up to 620 days)

  4. Time to Progressive Disease

    Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of disease progression. Time to disease progression was censored at the date of death if death was due to other cause. Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 620 days)

  5. Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)

    Time from study enrollment to first observation of disease progression, death from any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment (including toxicity or if patient had stable disease after 4 cycles). TTF was censored at date of last follow-up visit for patients who did not discontinue early, who were still alive, and who had not progressed.

    Measured: baseline to stopping treatment (up to 620 days)

  6. Progression-Free Survival

    Defined as the time from study enrollment until disease progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 620 days)

  7. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the last contact.

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 620 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing pemetrexed and cisplatin in people with Urologic Neoplasms, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 5 sites in Spain.

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 3 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 4 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Spain. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jun 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Best Overall Tumor Response (time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 620 days)). 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 4 Nov 2010.
