简要总结
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced cancer of the urothelium with decreased kidney function.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the response rate of patients with progressive regional or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium with renal insufficiency when treated with paclitaxel and gemcitabine.
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in this patient population.
OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour followed immediately by gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment continues every 4 weeks for a minimum of 3 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10-27 patients will be accrued for this study within 10-27 months.
