About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Gemcitabine and Cisplatin Plus AGS-003-BLD in Patients With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Undergoing Neoadjuvant Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy

This pilot clinical trial studies how well gemcitabine hydrochloride, cisplatin, and AGS-003-BLD work in treating patients with bladder cancer that has spread to the muscle and who are undergoing surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving gemcitabine hydrochloride, cisplatin, and AGS-003-BLD before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of tissue that needs to be removed by surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the immunogenicity of AGS-003-BLD in subjects with muscle invasive bladder cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess 1-year disease-free survival rate of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who receive cisplatin/gemcitabine chemotherapy plus AGS-003-BLD.

II. To determine the time to first metastatic lesion. III. To explore the disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with this treatment combination.

IV. To evaluate the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and identify any activity of this treatment combination.

  1. To evaluate toxicities and tolerability associated with this treatment combination.

VI. To assess the success rate of tumor procurement and AGS-003-BLD production of >= 5 doses.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the relationships between pathologic complete response with the change in CD28+ T cell levels.

II. To evaluate the change in frequency of CD11a highPD-1+ CD8+ T cells (and their expression of Bim) in peripheral blood.

OUTLINE:

NEOADJUVANT PHASE: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride intravenously (IV) on days 1 and 8, AGS-003-BLD intradermally (ID) on day 1, and cisplatin IV on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive AGS-003-BLD ID on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

SURGERY: Patients undergo cystectomy during course 8.

ADJUVANT PHASE: Patients continue AGS-003-BLD ID on day 1 of course 9. Treatment repeats every 12 weeks for up to 9 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cisplatin, Gemcitabine Hydrochloride and Radical Cystectomy in people with Infiltrating Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma and Stage II Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 24 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in the frequency of CD11a high PD-1+ CD8+ T cells (time frame: Baseline, before systemic therapy with chemotherapy). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Nov 2017.
