Trial summary

Radical Cystectomy is still the standard treatment in muscle-invasive Bladder cancer. Local recurrence is still the major cause of failure together with distant metastasis. postoperative radiotherapy succeeded to decrease the local recurrence and hence improved the overall survival.

About this study

Radical Cystectomy is still the standard treatment in muscle-invasive Bladder cancer. Local recurrence is still the major cause of failure together with distant metastasis. postoperative radiotherapy succeeded to decrease the local recurrence and hence improved the overall survival. Adjuvant chemotherapy has also improved the survival in different studies. This study is performed to test the efficacy and toxicity of adding the two modalities together compared to each modality alone.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the disease-free survival and overall survival of post-operative radiotherapy , adjuvant chemotherapy and the combined modalities [radiotherapy and chemotherapy] after radical cystectomy

    Regular follow up is performed every 2 months in the first 2 years postcystectomy and every 6 months thereafter. Periodical CT pelvis is performed every 6 months in the first 2 years and yearly thereafter. The other appropriate radiological studies are performed in response to patients' symptoms and signs. Treatment side effects (immediate and late) are reported in each follow up visit.

    Measured: Five-year overall and disease-free survival.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. comparison of the Local recurrence rate in the three Arms

    Periodical CT pelvis is performed every 6 months in the first 2 years and yearly thereafter. The other appropriate radiological studies are performed in response to patients' symptoms and signs. Treatment side effects (immediate and late) are reported in each follow up visit.

    Measured: Five year local pelvic control rate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Radiation, gemcitabine and cisplatin and Radiotherapy and Drug in people with Locally Advanced Bladder Cancer, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 inclusion and 1 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 28 Nov 2012. 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

Comparison of the disease-free survival and overall survival of post-operative radiotherapy , adjuvant chemotherapy and the combined modalities [radiotherapy and chemotherapy] after radical cystectomy (time frame: Five-year overall and disease-free survival.). 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 NCT01734798, 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 28 Nov 2012.
