About this study

Official title: A PHASE 3B, RANDOMIZED, OPEN-LABEL, MULTI-CENTER STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF MAINTENANCE THERAPY WITH VALRUBICIN VERSUS NO MAINTENANCE, IN SUBJECTS TREATED WITH VALRUBICIN INDUCTION FOR CARCINOMA IN SITU (CIS) OF THE BLADDER

This is a Phase 3b open-label, randomized, parallel-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 10 monthly intravesical administrations of maintenance therapy with valrubicin following induction with valrubicin as compared to induction with valrubicin only in subjects with CIS of the bladder. The randomization will be 1:1 and subjects will be stratified by tumor type (CIS plus papillary disease vs. CIS only) and time from last bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) failure (>1 year vs. <1 year).

What is being measured

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

  1. To Evaluate the Efficacy of Maintenance Therapy With Valrubicin After Induction With Valrubicin, as Compared to Induction With Valrubicin Only in Subjects With CIS of the Bladder.

    time interval from randomization to an event. An event is defined as tumor recurrence (any stage or grade), tumor progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), metastatic bladder cancer or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Tumor recurrence or progression must be documented by biopsy/transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Maintenance Therapy With Valrubicin After Induction With Valrubicin, as Compared to Induction With Valrubicin Only in Subjects With CIS of the Bladder

    The occurrence of serious adverse events (SAEs), occurrence of local adverse reactions (LARs), results of vital signs, physical exams and laboratory test, and study discontinuation due to inability to complete valrubicin instillations

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing VALSTAR - Maintenance Therapy in people with Carcinoma in Situ and Transitional Cell Carcinoma, run by Endo USA Inc., a Keenova Therapeutics Company at 6 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 22 Oct 2014). 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?

To Evaluate the Efficacy of Maintenance Therapy With Valrubicin After Induction With Valrubicin, as Compared to Induction With Valrubicin Only in Subjects With CIS of the Bladder. (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 5 Oct 2017.
