A Study Evaluating Chemotherapy With Fractionated Cisplatin/Gemcitabine Versus Carboplatin/Gemcitabine in the Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer With Impaired Renal Function.

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2019-07-15
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a phase II/III, multicenter, randomized study which includes 420 patients on six years + 3 years follow up. 92 patients will be included during the phase II ; additional 328 patients will be included.

Patients with an advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer with impaired renal function will be randomized in one of the two following chemotherapy arm:

• Fractionated Cisplatin + Gemcitabine.

• Carboplatin + Gemcitabine.

The main objective of the part II study will be to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of a chemotherapy with a doublet platinum salt compound/Gemcitabine with fractionated Cisplatin or Carboplatin in this population.

The main objective of the part III study will be to compare the efficacy in terms of overall survival of a chemotherapy with a doublet platinum salt/Gemcitabine with fractionated Cisplatin or Carboplatin in this population.

• Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Institut Claudius Regaud
• Treatments: Carboplatin; Cisplatin; Gemcitabine
