RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the response rate in patients with progressive metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium treated with sunitinib malate.
- Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients.
Secondary
- Determine the time to disease progression in patients treated with this regimen.
- To determine time to tumor progression (TTP) for sunitinib malate on a continuous dosing schedule for treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
- To estimate sunitinib and SU012662 trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) data for the continuous daily schedule and to determine potential association with efficacy and safety.
- Being tested
- sunitinib malate
- Keywords
- recurrent bladder cancer, stage IV bladder cancer, transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, anterior urethral cancer, posterior urethral cancer, recurrent urethral cancer, metastatic transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter, recurrent transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter, urethral cancer associated with invasive bladder cancer

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
sunitinib malateDrug
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Sunitinib | Experimental | This is a phase II trial of Sunitinib in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Sunitinib will be administered at a dose of 50 mg orally once daily for four consecutive weeks followed by a two-week rest period for the initial population. A second cohort of patients will be enrolled, who will receive 37.5 mg of sunitinib orally, on a continuous dosing schedule. Intra-patient dose reduction may be required depending on the type and severity of individual toxicity encountered. Re-staging imaging studies will be performed after every cycle of treatment during the first 4 cycles and subsequently after every other cycle. Patients may continue on study as long as they are tolerating therapy and in the absence of disease progression. Receives: Drug: sunitinib malate |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Objective Response
Response rate as measured by RECIST criteria. The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for PD the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started). In general, the patient's best response assignment will depend on the achievement of both measurement and confirmation criteria
Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing sunitinib malate in people with Bladder Cancer and Transitional Cell Cancer of the Renal Pelvis and Ureter, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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?
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 Jan 2016. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jan 2016). 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?
Overall Objective Response (time frame: 2 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 25 Jan 2016.
