What is being measured

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

  1. Two year recurrence-free survival in intravesical 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine instillation group and control group. The recurrence will be assessed by CT scan and cystoscopic exam.

    Analysis of recurrence status at 2 years from intravesical instillation of 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine

    Measured: Two years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to recurrence in intravesical 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine instillation group and control group. The recurrence will be assessed by CT scan and cystoscopic exam.

    Analysis of time from starting intravesical instillation of 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine to recurrence

    Measured: six years

  2. Overall survival in intravesical 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine instillation group and control group.

    Analysis of survival status due to any cause at six years from intravesical instillation of 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine

    Measured: six years

  3. CT cystography finding at one week after surgery.

    Evaluation of leakage at CT cystography at one week from intravesical instillation of 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine

    Measured: one week

  4. International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaire at one week after surgery.

    Evaluation of survey with International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaire a one week after surgery

    Measured: one week

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intravesical 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine instillation and Normal saline in people with Urothelial Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 5 sites in South Korea.

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 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Two year recurrence-free survival in intravesical 2000mg/52.6ml gemcitabine instillation group and control group. The recurrence will be assessed by CT scan and cystoscopic exam. (time frame: Two 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.
