About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Neoadjuvant Dasatinib Followed by Radical Cystectomy for Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder

This pilot study is designed to determine feasibility and safety of treatment with dasatinib administered orally once daily for 4 weeks duration prior to radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study.

This is a pilot study designed to determine the safety and feasibility of treatment with dasatinib 100 mg administered orally once daily for 4 weeks duration prior to radical cystectomy for patients with muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder ineligible for and/or willing to forgo neoadjuvant cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy. If surgery delay is imperative, dasatinib therapy should continue until at least 24 hours before planned surgery.

ECOG Performance Status 0-1

Life Expectancy: Not specified

Hematopoietic:

  • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) > 1.5 K/mm3
  • Platelets > 100 K/mm3
  • INR < 1.2

Hepatic:

  • Total bilirubin < 2.0 X Upper Limit of Normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 X ULN.
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT ) ≤ 2.5 X ULN

Renal:

  • Serum creatinine < 2 X ULN

Cardiovascular:

  • No uncontrolled angina, congestive heart failure or MI within 6 months prior to registration on study.
  • No diagnosed congenital long QT syndrome (a congenital disorder characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval on ECG and a propensity to ventricular tachyarrhythmias, which may lead to syncope, cardiac arrest, or sudden death).
  • No history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or Torsades de Pointes).
  • No prolonged QTc interval on pre-entry electrocardiogram (> 450 msec), obtained within 28 days prior to being registered on study.
Being tested
Dasatinib, Radical Cystectomy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DasatinibDrug

    Dasatinib 100 mg administered orally once daily for 4 weeks duration (+/- 1 week)

  • Radical CystectomyProcedure or surgery

    Radical cystectomy should be performed no sooner than 8 hours but preferably within 24 hours of the last administered Dasatinib dose. All attempts should be made for the patient to have their surgery after 8 hours but within 24 hours of their last dose of dasatinib. If surgery delay is imperative, dasatinib therapy should continue until at least 24 hours before planned surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility

    Feasibility for this trial is defined as at least 60% (>=14 of 23) of patients completing study therapy in the absence of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Measured: From enrollment to completion of radical cystectomy

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Grade 3/4 Toxicities

    Report grade 3/4 toxicities during treatment with dasatinib prior to radical cystectomy in patients with muscle invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

    Measured: Time of consent through 30 days after treatment discontinuation

  2. Reduced pSFK Expression

    pSFK levels were analyzed pre and post treatment

    Measured: Baseline to post dasatinib therapy

  3. Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate

    Pathologic complete response (pCR) rate is defined as no residual evidence of muscle-invasive disease at cystectomy (< pT0).

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Post-Cystectomy Pathologic Stage

    Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) Staging. This system classifies tumors by size and extent of the primary tumor (T), involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastases (M) T0=No evidence of primary tumor, Tis=Carcinoma in situ, and T1, T2, T3, T4=Increasing size and/or local extension of the primary tumor, TX=Not assessed N0=No Regional lymph node metastases, N1, N2, N3=Increasing number or extent of regional lymph node involvement, NX=not assessed M0=No distant metastases, M1=Distant metastases present

    Measured: Staged Post-Cystectomy and dasatinib treatment

  5. Reduced Ki-67 Expression

    Ki-67 levels were analyzed pre and post treatment

    Measured: Baseline to post dasatinib therapy

  6. Increase in Cas3 Expression

    Cas3 levels were analyzed pre and post treatment

    Measured: Baseline to post dasatinib therapy

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 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?

Feasibility (time frame: From enrollment to completion of radical cystectomy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00706641, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Jan 2016.
