Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of selenium and vitamin E may stop cancer from growing or coming back.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving selenium together with vitamin E to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing cancer progression and recurrence in patients with early-stage bladder cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To investigate whether selenium and/or vitamin E (α-tocopherol) supplementation reduces the risk of recurrence and progression.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified by recurrence risk group (high vs intermediate) and treatment center and randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral selenium tablet and oral vitamin E capsule once daily.
  • Arm II: Patients receive oral selenium tablet and oral placebo capsule once daily.
  • Arm III: Patients receive oral placebo tablet and oral vitamin E capsule once daily.
  • Arm IV: Patients receive oral placebo tablet and oral placebo capsule once daily.

In all arms, treatment continues for up to 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
