Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, urethra, ureter, or renal pelvis, with histological confirmation at MSKCC.
  • Patients must have progressive metastatic disease. Progressive disease will be defined as new or progressive lesions on cross-sectional imaging.
  • Patients must have at least one measurable site of disease (according to RECIST criteria) that has not been previously irradiated.
  • Patients must have been previously treated, as defined by the following:
  • Treatment with at least one prior cytotoxic agent but not more than four prior cytotoxic agents. Up to four prior chemotherapy agents are allowed, since conventional chemotherapy ranges from just one drug (e.g., gemcitabine) to regimens that contain four agents (e.g., M-VAC is a four-drug regimen containing methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin).
  • The prior therapy must have included at least one of the following: cisplatin, carboplatin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, or gemcitabine.
Show all 37Show fewer
  • The prior cytotoxic agents may have been administered in the perioperative or metastatic setting and may have been administered sequentially (e.g., first-line treatment followed by second-line treatment at time of progression) or as part of a single regimen.
  • Patients must have pre-treatment tumor tissue available for analysis of m-TOR pathway markers. One paraffin block or 10 freshly-prepared unstained slides (on positively charged slides for immunohistochemistry) from the most representative single paraffin-embedded tumor tissue block. Slides from the primary tumor are preferred. If both the primary and metastatic tumor blocks are available, 10 slides from each of the sites should be submitted. If tissue from the primary tumor is not available, a paraffin block or unstained slides from a metastatic site are acceptable. Fine needle aspirates (FNAs) have insufficient tumor tissue and are not permitted.
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60%
  • Adequate bone marrow function as shown by: ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, Hb >9 g/dL

  • Adequate renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  • Fasting serum cholesterol ≤300 mg/dL OR ≤7.75 mmol/L AND fasting triglycerides ≤ 2.5 x ULN. NOTE: If a patient's lipid values exceed either one of these criteria upon screening, the patient can only become eligible after successful initiation of appropriate lipid-lowering medication. After lipid-lowering therapy, patients must meet the same criteria - i.e. a fasting serum cholesterol ≤300 mg/dL OR ≤7.75 mmol/L AND fasting triglycerides ≤ 2.5 x ULN - to be eligible for study treatment

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Everolimus (RAD001) in Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Urothelium

The purpose of this study is to learn what effects, good and/or bad, Everolimus has on advanced urothelial cancer.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the study drug Everolimus can shrink or slow the growth of urothelial cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied. The patients physical state, changes in the size of the tumor, and laboratory findings taken while on-study will help us decide if Everolimus is safe and effective.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EverolimusDrug

    Everolimus (RAD001) is a novel oral derivative of rapamycin. Everolimus will be administered orally as a once-daily dose of 10 mg (two 5 mg tablets) continuously from study day 1 until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will be instructed to take Everolimus in the morning, at the same time each day. Everolimus should be taken by the patient in a fasting state or with no more than a light fat-free meal.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Who Were Progression Free at 2 Months

    To measure the two-month PFS rate of Everolimus (RAD001) as determined by RECIST. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Number of Participants Evaluated for Toxicity

    To determine the safety and toxicity of Everolimus (RAD001) in this patient population with toxicities being evaluated by CTCAE v3.0

    Measured: through study completion, up to 25 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Response Rate

    To determine the response rate of Everolimus in patients with progressive urothelial cancer who have received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (version 1.0). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: through study completion, up to 25 months

  2. Proportion of Pretreatment Primary Tumor Samples With mTOR Pathway Markers

    To assess markers for activated mTOR pathway (including phospho-S6 and phospho-4E BP1) in all pre-treatment tissue specimens and correlate with response to treatment and PFS.

    Measured: 25 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Everolimus in people with Bladder Cancer and Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 37 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Nov 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Who Were Progression Free at 2 Months (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00805129, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2022.
