Bristol Bladder Trial

Phase 2
Conditions
Infiltrating Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01616875
Lead Sponsor
University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

26 patients with invasive primary transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder will receive 4 cycles of combination chemotherapy consisting of Cabazitaxel and Cisplatin both given intravenously on day 1 of each 3 weekly cycle prior to radical cystectomy, to evaluate the overall response rate and to determine whether this approach warrants further research of a phase II/III study.Participation in 2 sub studies will also be offered to the participants.

1. Contrast Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ) scans will be taken at baseline and after cycle 1 and cycle 3.

2. A pilot sub study involving the circulating tumour cell concentration from blood samples taken at baseline, prior to each cycle of chemotherapy and prior to surgery
