First-Line Treatment of Advanced Bladder Cancer Randomized vs. Gemcitabine ± Vinflunine in Patients Ineligible to Receive Cisplatin-Based Therapy

Phase 2

Registration Number
NCT00389155
Lead Sponsor
Bristol-Myers Squibb
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test an investigational drug, vinflunine (BMS-710485), in combination with gemcitabine in patients with Transitional Cell Carcinoma who cannot be treated with cisplatin. This study will help to determine whether vinflunine in combination with gemcitabine will extend the time period until further growth of the tumor more than gemcitabine alone.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Median Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria in Participants With Advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) of the UrotheliumUntil tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or discontinuation by investigator decision

PFS survival is defined as the time between randomization and the date of progression or death, whichever occurs first, before or after treatment discontinuation. For those still on study and those who remain alive and have not progressed after treatment discontinuation, PFS will be censored on the date of the last tumor assessment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease Control Rate in Participants With Best Response of CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD)Until tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or discontinuation by investigator decision

Disease control rate is defined as the number of participants in that arm whose best response is PR, CR, or SD, divided by the total number of randomized participants in the treatment arm.

Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Findings by Worst CTC GradeFollowing Day 1 to no longer than 30 days after last dose of study medication
Duration of Response in Participants With Best Response of CR or PRUntil tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or discontinuation by investigator decision

Duration of response is computed for participants with best response of CR or PR; the duration is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR, whichever is recorded first, until the date of documented progressive disease or death. Participants who neither relapse nor die will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment.

Number of Participants With Outcome of Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs) and AEs Leading to DiscontinuationUntil tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or discontinuation by investigator decision

An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, results in drug dependency or drug abuse, or is an important medical event.

Tumor Response Rate in Participants With A Best Response of Complete (CR) or Partial (PR) as Defined by RECIST criteriaUntil tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or discontinuation by investigator decision

Tumor response rate is defined as the number of participants in that arm whose best response is PR or CR, divided by the total number of randomized participants in the arm.

Time to Response in Participants With Best Response of CR or PRUntil tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or discontinuation by investigator decision

Time to response is defined as the number of months from the first dose of study therapy until measurement criteria are met for PR or CR, whichever is recorded first.

Overall Survival of Participants With TCC of the UrotheliumUntil tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of patient consent, or discontinuation by investigator decision

Survival duration is defined as the time (in months) from randomization until death. For those participants who have not died, survival duration will be censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive.

Number of Participants With Serum Chemistry Abnormalities by Worst Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) GradeFollowing Day 1 to no longer than 30 days after last dose of study medication
