About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Bladder Cancer focused on measuring Bladder, Radiotherapy, Gemcitabine, Chemotherapy, 10-031

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • MSKCC-reviewed pathologically proven diagnosis of primary bladder urothelial carcinoma without evidence of regional (nodal) or distant spread (cT1-T4a, Nx or N0).
  • Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) ≥ 70%
  • Age ≥18 years old
  • Adequately functioning bladder, defined as continent and without the need for an indwelling catheter
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mL; platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 serum bilirubin < 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN); aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN
  • Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance > 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the following formula modified Cockcroft and Gault Formula for estimated Creatinine Clearance
  • Patients must be considered able to tolerate systemic chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy.
  • Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of distant disease or histologically-proven nodal metastases. Patients with radiologic evidence of lymphadenopathy must have biopsy proof of N0 status.
  • Previous pelvic radiation therapy
  • Prior systemic chemotherapy non-cisplatin based neoadjuvant for urothelial carcinoma (prior intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy is permissible)
  • Prior cisplatin based neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy for more than >4 cycles
  • Active inflammatory bowel disease (i.e., Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis)
  • Women who are pregnant or lactating

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Radiotherapy and Concurrent Gemcitabine Chemotherapy

Arm Description

This is a Phase I dose-escalation study examining the safety and tolerability of intensity modulated external radiation therapy using image-guidance in combination with gemcitabine chemotherapy as an alternative to radical cystectomy.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To determine the dose limiting toxicity and establish the maximal tolerated dose

Secondary Outcome Measures
