What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01916109
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gemcitabine, Carboplatin, and Panitumumab (GCaP)ExperimentalPatients will receive four cycles of GCaP administered every 21 days. Panitumumab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 9mg/kg on day 1. Gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 and carboplatin AUC 4.5 on day 1 will be administered intravenously on a 21-day cycle. A total of four cycles of therapy will be administered at 21-day intervals followed by radical cystectomy.
Receives: Drug: Gemcitabine; Drug: Carboplatin; Drug: Panitumumab; Procedure: radical cystectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathologic Complete Response Rate (<pT0)

    The absence of carcinoma (pT0 disease) and the absence of microscopic lymph node metastases (N0) on the final cystectomy specimen.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine, Carboplatin and Panitumumab in people with Bladder Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 5 sites 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 20 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 12 Feb 2016). 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?

Pathologic Complete Response Rate (<pT0) (time frame: 1 year). 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 12 Feb 2016.
