Clinical Trial Summary

A study for patients with confirmed locally advanced or metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the bladder or upper urinary tracts who have developed progressive disease within 12 months of their platinum based chemotherapy. The study aims to compare the overall response rate of cabazitaxel treatment versus best supportive care including single agent chemotherapy.


Clinical Trial Description

Bladder cancer was the 9th most common cause of cancer worldwide in 2002. About 70% of patients have superficial tumour and 30% have invasive tumour at diagnosis. Patients with superficial tumour are treated by surgery, which is the only curative treatment. However, about 50% of these patients will relapse, and cannot be cured by local treatment in the majority of cases. The survival of untreated metastatic patients does not exceed 3 to 6 months, and systemic chemotherapy increases overall survival of patients with unresectable disease.

However, the overall survival of patients with advanced disease treated with chemotherapy remains short (14 months), which reflects a substantial unmet medical need for more effective therapy in this very poor prognosis disease.

Cabazitaxel is a new taxane, taxanes have demonstrated activity in advanced bladder cancer, and are among the most active new cytotoxic agents to be assessed in transitional cell carcinoma.

Cabazitaxel has demonstrated activity in cell lines with acquired resistance to doxorubicin, vincristine, vinblastine, paclitaxel, and docetaxel.

This is a randomised, open-label, parallel-group phase 2 study of cabazitaxel versus best supportive care (including chemotherapy).

The study is divided into three phases: screening, treatment, and follow-up. The treatment phase comprises a maximum of six three-weekly cycles of therapy, with a post treatment discontinuation visit taking place 3 weeks after last dose of treatment before the follow-up phase begins.

This phase 2 study will initially recruit 25 patients and after interim analysis will to increase to recruit 96 patients randomised between the two treatment options and the study is expected to last about 2 years. ;
