About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Single-arm Study of Docetaxel and Oxaliplatin in Metastatic Cisplatin-resistant Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder

The purpose of this non-randomized Phase II trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a combination of docetaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with metastatic transitional cell cancer (TCC) of the urothelial tract. The primary endpoint was to assess response, as defined as a 25% reduction in measurable disease per the RECIST criteria. Measurable or evaluable objective response rate, time to disease progression and survival were also assessed.

Read the detailed description

This non-randomized Phase II trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a combination of docetaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with metastatic transitional cell cancer (TCC) of the urothelial tract. The primary endpoint was to assess response, as defined as a 25% reduction in measurable disease per the RECIST criteria. Measurable or evaluable objective response rate, time to disease progression and survival were also assessed.

Treatment was administered on an outpatient basis. No other concurrent therapy for malignant disease was administered. Patients received both docetaxel and oxaliplatin, IV on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment will be repeated every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or treatment delay > 3 weeks.

All patients should receive antiemetics prior to treatment. An oral or IV 5-HT3 receptor antagonist in combination with a benzodiazepene and Decadron was recommended. To mitigate docetaxel associated hypersensitivity reactions, Decadron was administered at a dose of 8mg bid, 1 day prior to, the day of, and the day after administration of docetaxel (total of 3 days)

Day 1 of each cycle:

Docetaxel was administered at a dose of 60mg/m2 IV infusion, followed by oxaliplatin at a dose of 110mg/m2 as a 2 hour IV infusion. Oxaliplatin solution was further diluted in an infusion solution of 250 mL to 500 mL Dextrose 5% in Water (D5W). Oxaliplatin was be capped at a maximum BSA of 2.0

Day 2 of each cycle:

Patients received growth factor support as needed. At the discretion of the investigator, patients were treated with both white and red cell growth factors. Generally, white cell support is recommended if patients experience a febrile neutropenia with the preceeding cycle, or are over the age of 70 yrs, and thought to be at a high risk of febrile neutropenia (74-76)

Being tested
Docetaxel, Oxaliplatin

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DocetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    Docetaxel (28) is a semi-synthetic taxane which blocks mitosis by preventing microtubule depolymerization. It mediates its actions by binding to a different set of microtubule-associated proteins than paclitaxel. It is administered every 3 weeks as a 30 minute infusion at doses between 60 to 75 mg/m^2.

  • OxaliplatinDrug

    Alkylating antineoplastic agent. It is administered on day 1 of each cycle at a dose of 110 mg/m^2

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Percentage of patients who experienced a greater than or equal to a 30% reduction in measurable disease, as per the RECIST criteria.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time to progression (TTP) will be calculated as number of months from the date of first treatment to the date of disease progression or the date of death (disease-related causes) or the cut-off date.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Percentage of patients who achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease. DCR will be calculated from the first day of the first cycle to the date of metastatic or primary tumor relapse, or last contact date, or date of death (if death comes before disease progression), or data cut-off.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  3. Overall Survival

    The overall survival will be calculated as the number of months from the date of first treatment until death or the cut-off date.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and Oxaliplatin in people with Metastatic Transitional Cell Cancer of the Urothelial Tract, run by Leonard Appleman 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 12 inclusion and 6 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 11 Aug 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response Rate (time frame: Up to 4 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.

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 11 Aug 2017.
