About this study

Gemcitabine plus cisplatin have been the most studied and used anticancer agents in patients with local advanced and/or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of urothelial tract even if clinical benefits and survival remains limited.

The purpose of this study is to test in a randomized trial enrolling patients for comparing the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 with Gemcitabine plus cisplatin, in order to determine the most promising agents as the first line treatment of advanced and/or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of urothelial tract.

  • Gemcitabine, cisplatinDrug

    Also called GEMXAR

    Gemcitabine is given at 1000mg/m2 combination with cisplatin 75mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 and 8 of each 21-days cycle. Number of cycle: 6 cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival

    Measure the time of progression-free from start of treatment, assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1

    Measured: up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall response rate

    The proportion of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response (CR or PR) according to RECIST v1.1. CR = disappearance of all target lesions. PR = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: every 2 cycles (6 weeks) until treatment discontinuation, an expected average of 1 year.

  2. Disease control rate

    Defined by RECIST criteria (version 1.1) as a percentage of best overall responses of CR+PR+SD.

    Measured: change from baseline in tumor assessment at 18 weeks (cycle 6).

  3. Overall survival

    Measure of time from Day 1 of study drug administration to disease progression or death or lost to follow-up on study.

    Measured: every 8 weeks until disease progression or death on study, an expected average of 2 years. Patients with progressive disease will be followed every 3 months for the first year and every 6 months thereafter up to 5 years.

  4. The number of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and serous adverse events (SAEs) as a measure of safety

    The reported incidence of AEs and SAEs with an onset on or after the initiation of therapy will be graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03.

    Measured: every 3 weeks until treatment discontinuation plus 30 days, an expected average of 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel, S-1 and Gemcitabine, cisplatin in people with Carcinoma, Transitional Cell, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 inclusion and 26 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 9 Aug 2021. 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 China. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Progression-free survival (time frame: up to 12 months). 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 9 Aug 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
