Urinary Bladder NeoplasmsPhase 1/2NCT00818350
Activity Study of Sunitinib In Metastatic Pretreated Urothelial Cancer
A Phase 1/2 study testing SUNITINIB in people with Urinary Bladder Neoplasms, run by Campania Younger Oncologists Association.
Trial summary
Gemcitabine and cisplatin represent the standard first-line chemotherapy in metastatic bladder carcinoma. This regimen has replaced in most centers the MVAC combination showing a similar efficacy but less toxicity. Almost all responding patients relapse within the first year, with a median survival of 12 months. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase II Study of Sunitinib in Metastatic and Pretreated Urothelial Cancer
Gemcitabine and cisplatin represent the standard first-line chemotherapy in metastatic bladder carcinoma. This regimen has replaced in most centers the MVAC combination showing a similar efficacy but less toxicity.
Almost all responding patients relapse within the first year, with a median survival of 12 months. Prognosis is very poor in patients who display progressive disease after receiving combination cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

No standard has yet been established for second-line treatment and well designed trials of second-line chemotherapy for metastatic transitional carcinoma of the urothelium should be given high priority.
Several drugs have been used in second line for metastatic disease with poor results.
The investigators have planned a Phase II study, open-label, single arm design to evaluate the activity and safety of sunitinib in metastatic urothelial carcinoma, pretreated with standard regimen (cisplatin-gemcitabine).
No previous studies have been published with sunitinib in metastatic bladder cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES
- PRIMARY To determine the antitumor efficacy ( response rate) of sunitinib
- SECONDARY To determine: safety, duration of response, Quality of life (QoL), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
PLAN OF TREATMENT Patients received sunitinib at a starting dose of 50 mg per day in repeated 6-week cycles for 4 consecutive weeks followed by 2 weeks off treatment.
Sunitinib was self-administered orally once daily without regard to meals. Dose reduction for toxicity was allowed to 37.5 until 25 mg/day depending on the type and severity of toxicity encountered.
Sunitinib treatment was continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
EVALUATION
Baseline evaluations included:
- medical history
- physical examination;
- tumor assessment (total body TC and bone scan )
- assessment of ECOG PS
- QoL assessment
- Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction by echocardiography
- ECG
- Laboratory measurements. Assessment of efficacy and safety
- Evaluation according RECIST criteria every 2 cycles (12 weeks) with TC
- Safety according NCI version 3 every cycle
- QoL every cycle EORTC-QOL-C30.• RESOURCE UTILIZATION ASSESSMENTS
EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, developed by the EORTC for the measurement of quality of life in cancer patients in clinical trials.
For the analysis, the raw scores of the questionnaire are transformed into a 100-point scale. For the functional scales, the computed scores range from 0 to 100, with the higher scores representing a higher level of functioning. For the item scales relative to physical symptoms and financial impact, higher scores represent a higher level of symptoms or problems .
STATISTICAL METHODS
Benefit anticipated (%): >30% of response rate. Test size: 5%. Power 80%. Sample size: 25 patients.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing SUNITINIB in people with Urinary Bladder Neoplasms, run by Campania Younger Oncologists Association.
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 7 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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?
Results are not available in the source record.
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?
To determine the antitumor efficacy ( response rate) of sunitinib (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 Jan 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
