Phase II Trial of Gemcitabine, Carboplatin, and Bevacizumab in Chemotherapy Naive Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
Gemcitabine and carboplatin are two standard chemotherapy drugs used to treat tumors of the urothelial tract. These drugs do not shrink tumors in all patients and when they do, it is generally for a limited amount of time. This has led scientists to look for different ways to treat cancer.
New drugs have been developed to treat cancer that work differently than standard chemotherapy drugs. One new class of drugs are called 'angiogenesis-inhibitors'. These drugs attempt to decrease the blood supply to tumors. By doing so, this may limit the tumor's source of oxygen and nutrients and prevent the tumor from growing. Bevacizumab is an anti-angiogenic drug.
In some other cancers such as colon cancer and lung cancer, combining bevacizumab with standard chemotherapy shrinks tumors in a greater proportion of patients and makes patients live longer than using standard chemotherapy alone. This has never been tested in urothelial cancer and we do not know if bevacizumab will have the same effects in this disease. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the combination of gemcitabine, carboplatin, and bevacizumab has on you and your cancer.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Bevacizumab, Carboplatin, Gemcitabine
Patients will initially receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg followed by a 2 week treatment-free interval.
Treatment will then begin with combination therapy.
Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 will be administered intravenously on day 1 and 8 and carboplatin AUC 4.5 on day 1 with treatment recycled every 21 days.
Bevacizumab will be administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg on day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Restaging evaluations will be performed after every 3 cycles of treatment (approximately 9 weeks).
Patients will receive a total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy unless disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
Patients who achieve stable disease, a partial response, or a complete response after completion of 6 cycles, will be eligible to continue bevacizumab at the same dose and schedule until disease progression for a maximum of 18 additional doses.
