A Phase II Randomized Trial for Patients With Muscle-Invading Bladder Cancer Evaluating Transurethral Surgery and BID Irradiation Plus Either Paclitaxel and Cisplatin or 5-Fluorouracil and Cisplatin Followed by Selective Bladder Preservation and Gemcitabine/Paclitaxel/Cisplatin Adjuvant Chemotherapy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating cisplatin, fluorouracil, and 4 other interventions for Bladder Cancer. Completed, enrolled 97 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy (RT) uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy with or without surgery is more effective in treating bladder cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of two combination chemotherapy regimens and radiation therapy with or without radical cystectomy in treating patients who have stage II or stage III bladder cancer.

Interventions
Induction: 15 mg/m2 as a 60-minute infusion on days 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, and 17; Consolidation: 15 mg/m2 as a 60-minute infusion on days 1, 2, 8, and 9; Adjuvant: 35 mg/m2 as a 60-minute infusion on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles.
Induction: 400 mg/m2 as a 24-hour infusion on days 1, 2, 3, 15, 16, and 17; Consolidation: 400 mg/m2 as a 24-hour infusion on days 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10.
Induction: 50 mg/m2 as a 60-minute infusion on days 1, 8, and 15; Consolidation: 50 mg/m2 as a 60-minute infusion on days 1 and 8; Adjuvant: 50 mg/m2 as a 60-minute infusion on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles.
Induction: External beam irradiation, 1.6 Gy, will be given to the pelvis in the first treatment followed by an interfraction period of at least 4-6 hours. During the second treatment, 1.5 Gy will be delivered to the whole bladder for the first five sessions (7.5 Gy) then to the tumor plus a margin for eight sessions (12. Gy). Consolidation: Consolidation therapy will start 7-14 days following a cystoscopic re-evaluation demonstrating a complete response to the induction therapy. 1.5 Gy (per fraction) will be given to the pelvis in two treatment fractions per day, with an interfraction period of at least 4-6 hours.
Adjuvant: 1000 mg/m2 over 30-60 minutes on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles.
Operable patients with pT1 or worse tumor response on re-evaluation following induction therapy will have radical cystectomy.
