Who may be able to join

  • All patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.
  • Patients must have metastatic or locally recurrent transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Patients with locoregional disease must be considered incurable by means of locoregional therapy.
  • All sites of disease must be assessed and designated as measurable or non- measurable disease as documented by CT, MRI, X-ray physical exam or nuclear exam. All measurable disease must be assessed within 28 days prior to registration. All non-measurable disease must be assessed within 42 days prior to registration.
  • Patients must not have more than one prior chemotherapy regimen for recurrent/metastatic disease. Patients with initial locally advanced but nonmetastatic disease are allowed to have one prior chemotherapy regimen as part of the primary curative therapy.

About this study

This phase II trial evaluated the impact of Oxaliplatin and Gemcitabine in patients with recurrent or advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The combination of Oxaliplatin and Gemcitabine is considered investigational and this study will help in determining if their activity and toxicity profiles are comparable or better than the standard regimens.

Read the detailed description

The combination of Oxaliplatin and Gemcitabine has synergistic effects on a variety of human cancer cell lines in vitro. Clinically, it has demonstrated activity in other malignancies including lung, and pancreas. In the former study, poor prognosis advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients received Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 and Oxaliplatin 65mg/m2 both on days 1 and 8. The overall response rate was 16%, with no reports of neutropenic fever. In the latter study, locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer patients received Gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 on day 1 and Oxaliplatin 100mg/m2 on day 2 every 2 weeks. The overall response rate was 31%. The toxicity profile included grades 3 to 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia in 11%, 14% for nausea or vomiting, 6.2% for diarrhea, and 11% for peripheral neuropathy, with no toxic deaths

There has been one feasibility study evaluating the combination of Oxaliplatin and Gemcitabine in advanced transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urothelium. Twenty patients with advanced urothelial carcinomas who were treated with Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin at 1500mg/m2 and 85mg/m2 IV respectively, both on day 1 of a 14 day cycle. The median number of cycles was 5 and ranged from 1 to 7. A total of 90 cycles were delivered with 87 assessable for toxicity in 19 patients. No neutropenic fever occurred and G-CSF was not used although allowed as needed. Grades 3 to 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 9 (10%) and 3 (3%) of the courses given respectively. Grades 1 to 2 neuropathy was noted to be common with only one patient suffering grade 3 neuropathy. Non-hematologic adverse effects were found to be mild. Response rates were not provided.

In summary, there is favorable evidence of antitumor activity in vitro and in clinical studies for a variety of cancers. Furthermore, the toxicity profile of this combination is also favorable. It is therefore logical to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of this combination in advanced urothelial carcinoma.

What participants receive

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

  • Oxaliplatin with GemcitabineDrug

    Also called Gemzar, Eloxatin

    Oxaliplatin will be given as an intravenous infusion over 60 minutes on Days 1 and 14 at a dose of 100 mg/m2 for each cycle. Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) will be given on days 1 and 14 as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes immediately prior to Oxaliplatin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events to Evaluate Tolerability of Oxaliplatin With Gemcitabine

    To evaluate the tolerability of administering Oxaliplatin in combination with gemcitabine in patients with recurrent or advanced TCC bladder. Toxicity and adverse events are based on the CTCAE (NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Version 3.0.

    Measured: From date of registration until treatment completion, disease progression or other reasons for removal from protocol treatments, whichever came first, an average of 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Response Rate as Assessed by RECIST Criteria of Patients Who Received Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin

    To assess the overall response rate to the combination of gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin in patients with recurrent or advanced TCC bladder. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI. Complete Response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all target lestions. Partial Response (PR) is defined as >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as confirmed complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). ORR = CR + PR

    Measured: From date of registration until first date of disease progression, toxicity, delay of treatment, or withdrawal of treatment, whichever came first, an average of 1 year.

  2. Overall Survival of Patients Who Received Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin

    To evaluate overall survival in patients with advanced TCC bladder treated with this combination of gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin.

    Measured: From date of registration for 5 years or until death from any cause, whichever came first.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oxaliplatin with Gemcitabine in people with Carcinoma, Transitional Cell, run by University of California, Irvine 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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2023. 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 2 Jan 2020). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events to Evaluate Tolerability of Oxaliplatin With Gemcitabine (time frame: From date of registration until treatment completion, disease progression or other reasons for removal from protocol treatments, whichever came first, an average of 1 year.). 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 21 Aug 2023.
