A Phase II Study of Erlotinib (Tarceva®) in Patients With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer Undergoing Radical Cystectomy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Erlotinib and Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving erlotinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving erlotinib after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works when given before and after surgery in treating patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
