Brief Title: Pemetrexed Maintenance in Patients With Urothelial Carcinoma Who Completed First Line Platinum-based Chemotherapy
Official Title: A Prospective Randomized Phase III Trial of Maintenance Pemetrexed Versus Observation in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma Who Completed First Line Platinum-based Chemotherapy Without Disease Progression
Study ID: NCT03193788
Brief Summary: This study aims to verify superiority of pemetrexed maintenance to observation for patient without disease progression after 1 st line cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
Detailed Description: Patients with unresectable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma of bladder, ureter, or renal pelvis who do not experience disease progression after 4 to 6 cycles of 1 st line chemotherapy administration.

Pemetrexed 500 mg/m 2 mixed in normal saline 100 mL as a 10 minute IV infusion on day 1 of each 21 day cycle, with vitamin supplementation (folic acid 1000μg daily orally from 7 days prior to treatment initiation and vitamin B12 1000 μg IM 7 days prior to treatment initiation and then every 3 cycles). Thereafter, vitamin B12 can be injected on the same day of pemetrexed infusion. Dexamethasone 4 mg orally twice daily for 3 days beginning the day before treatment to minimize cutaneous reactions.
