Brief Title: Intravesical Cabazitaxel, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin (CGC) in the Treatment Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder
Official Title: A Phase I/II Trial for the Use of Intravesical Cabazitaxel, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin (CGC) in the Treatment of BCG-Refractory Non-muscle Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder Cancer
Study ID: NCT02202772
Brief Summary: The investigators intend to evaluate the safety and toxicity profile of intravesically administered multidrug regimen of Cabazitaxel, Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in treatment refractory Transitional Cell Carcinoma.The investigators propose to conduct a combined phase I trial to assess the safety, toxicity, and efficacy of a novel multidrug intravesical regimen consisting of Cabazitaxel, Gemcitabine, and Cisplatin (CGC) in the treatment of BCG resistant non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. This phase I trial will have a combined dose and cycle-escalation scheme with enrollment of up to 24 patients.
Detailed Description: Nonsurgical treatment strategies for BCG refractory bladder cancer have failed to prove themselves as reliable options for increased survival among this subset of bladder cancer patients. For these patients, removal of the bladder with all the associated perioperative risks and the subsequent reduction of quality of life, remains the only option. Prior attempts at second line treatments have included intravesical (within the bladder) monotherapy with a range of drugs including Gemcitabine and Paclitaxel (a taxane, similar to Cabazitaxel). These drugs have shown some potential improvement for a small number of patients Given the synergy of systemic chemotherapy, it is believed that a multidrug regimen would allow for further improvement in survival among these patients.
