About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Trial of Adjuvant Radiotherapy Versus Observation After Radical Cystectomy in High Risk Urothelial Bladder Cancer

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial in high risk urothelial bladder cancer to compare adjuvant radiotherapy versus observation after radical cyctectomy. This is to clarify the benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy while limiting gastrointestinal toxicities for patients with pathological high-risk bladder cancer through assessing locoregional control (LRC).

Read the detailed description

This is prospective randomized trial in high risk urothelial bladder cancer that includes 2 arms. The randomization will be done by permuted block method to 2 equal comparable groups. The total number of subjects will be 50 in each arm (Total=100 subjects).

This study include patients who may receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy [Gemcitabine+Cisplatin]) or not.

Arm (1) in this study (N=50) will received irradiation of both the bladder tumor bed and pelvic lymph nodes using IMRT technique. For Arm (2) (N=50) will undergo observation following radical cystectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Adjuvant Radiotherapy in people with High-Risk Cancer and Urothelial Carcinoma Bladder, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2021. 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 Egypt. 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.

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?

Contact Mohamed Zaghloul, MD ((20)-01001720664, mszagh@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local Control (time frame: Two year). 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 NCT04740866, 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?
