Trial summary

Due to limited experience with cabazitaxel in TCCU, the study will be started as a randomised phase II study. The aim of the phase II study is to evaluate if the response rates (CR + PR) are sufficiently high to further study the treatment regimens in a phase III setting. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomised Phase II/III Study of Cabazitaxel Versus Vinflunine in Metastatic or Locally Advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urothelium

Due to limited experience with cabazitaxel in TCCU, the study will be started as a randomised phase II study. The aim of the phase II study is to evaluate if the response rates (CR + PR) are sufficiently high to further study the treatment regimens in a phase III setting.

Read the detailed description

Once it is confirmed that the subjects fulfil the eligibility criteria and have signed the informed consent, they will be randomised to receive treatment based on cabazitaxel or vinflunine according to the following study schema:

(Randomize 1:1)

  • Cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 q3w
  • Vinflunine 250-320 mg/m2 q3w

Random assignment of treatment will be stratified by the presence of 0 versus 1 of the following unfavourable prognostic risk factors proposed recently by Bellmunt et al. (1):

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS 1.
  • Anaemia with Hb <10 g/dL.
  • Presence of liver metastases.

All patients enrolled in the study will receive a cycle of treatment with the study medication (cabazitaxel or vinflunine) every 21 days until disease progression or intolerable/unacceptable toxicity. Tumour evaluations will be scheduled every 6 weeks until progression

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase II main objective: to assess the efficacy of cabazitaxel compared to vinflunine in terms of improved objective response rate (ORR) of subjects with metastatic or locally advanced previously treated TCCU.

    Efficacy of cabazitaxel compared to vinflunine on terms of improved objective response rate (ORR)

    Measured: From date of randomization to disease progression or until 18 months from enrolment.

  2. Phase III main objective: To assess the efficacy of cabazitaxel compared to vinflunine in terms of improved overall survival (OS) of subjects with metastatic or locally advanced, previously treated TCCU.

    Measured: From date of randomization to death from any cause or until 18 months from enrolment.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Phase II secondary objective: to assess the efficacy of cabazitaxel compared to vinflunine in terms of improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

    Measured: From randomisation to either documented disease progression or death from any cause or until 18 months from enrolment (whichever occurs earlier)

  2. Phase II secondary objective: safety profile and tolerability of cabazitaxel. It will be determined from the number of Adverse Events reported.

    Measured: From the date the informed consent is signed up to 30 days after the last dose.

  3. Phase III secondary objective: to assess the efficacy of cabazitaxel compared to vinflunine in terms of improved objetive response rate (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS).

    Measured: From randomisation to either documented disease progression or death from any cause or until 18 months from enrolment (whichever occurs earlier)

  4. Phase III secondary objective: safety profile and tolerability of cabazitaxel. It will be determined from the number of Adverse Events reported.

    Measured: From the date the informed consent is signed up to 30 days after the last dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Cabazitaxel and Vinflunine in people with Urothelium Transitional Cell Carcinoma, run by Associació per a la Recerca Oncologica, Spain at 20 sites in 2 countries.

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 14 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Spain, Netherlands. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Joaquim Bellmunt, MD/PhD (+34 93 2483137, jbellmunt@parcdesalutmar.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase II main objective: to assess the efficacy of cabazitaxel compared to vinflunine in terms of improved objective response rate (ORR) of subjects with metastatic or locally advanced previously treated TCCU. (time frame: From date of randomization to disease progression or until 18 months from enrolment.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01830231, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jan 2014.
