Phase II Study of Intravesical Gemcitabine in Patients With Superficial Bladder Cancer Who Have Progressed Despite Intravesical BCG
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating gemcitabine hydrochloride for Bladder Cancer. Completed, enrolled 58 participants across 98 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving gemcitabine directly into the bladder may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well gemcitabine works in treating patients with recurrent bladder cancer that has progressed despite previous Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).
