A Phase II Trial of Cisplatin, Gemcitabine and Bevacizumab in Combination for Metastatic Transitional Cell Cancer: Hoosier Oncology Group GU04-75
OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study.
- Cisplatin 70 mg/m2 Day 1
- Gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 Day 1 and 8
- Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg Day 1
Review toxicity every cycle (every 3 weeks) Review for radiographic response every 2 cycles
(every six weeks)
Progressive disease = off protocol therapy
Patients will be treated for up to a maximum of 8 cycles of cisplatin and gemcitabine (24
weeks of therapy). If a patient has not progressed by the end of 24 weeks (completion of
cisplatin and gemcitabine), then patient will be treated with bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg every
three weeks for a maximum of 12 months of bevacizumab therapy (since study entry).
If at any time patient has undue toxicity or progressive disease, patient will be removed
from the study and followed until progression and for survival.
If the patient has Grade 3 or 4 neurotoxicity and/or the creatinine rises above 2.0, then
the cisplatin will be discontinued and the patient continued on study and treated with
gemcitabine and bevacizumab at the same dose and schedule.
