Multi-Center Phase Ib/II Trial of Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, Plus Lenalidomide as First-line Therapy for Patients With Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma
Urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is the second most common genitourinary
malignancy. Based on the results of a large randomized study comparing MVAC with gemcitabine
plus cisplatin, the latter regimen became a treatment standard based on improved
tolerability. While the tolerability of chemotherapy for patients with advanced urothelial
carcinoma has improved, there have been no significant improvements in efficacy since the
advent of MVAC in the 1980's and novel approaches are clearly needed.
The current study will explore the safety and activity of lenalidomide in combination with
gemcitabine plus cisplatin as first line chemotherapy in subjects with metastatic urothelial
carcinoma.
The primary objective of the phase Ib portion will be to determine the recommended phase II
dose of the combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus lenalidomide in patients with
advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The primary objective of the phase II portion
will be the progression-free survival at 1 year. The secondary objectives are to evaluate
the activity (as determined by objective response rate); and to determine the safety (per
the Common Terminology for Adverse Events version 4.0) of combination therapy with
gemcitabine, cisplatin plus lenalidomide; to evaluate lenalidomide as maintenance treatment
in patients achieving an objective response or stable disease following completion of 6
cycles of combination therapy and; to determine the impact of treatment on peripheral blood
immune cell subsets and circulating tumor cells.
Patients will receive gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 IV on days 1 + 8 and cisplatin 70 mg/m2 IV on
day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Lenalidomide will be given orally on days 1-14 and the dose will
be escalated in successive cohorts during the phase Ib portion to define the recommended
phase II dose. Patients will continue gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus lenalidomide for up to 6
cycles, in the absence of disease progression or prohibitive toxicity. After completion of 6
cycles of therapy, patients who have achieved at least "stable disease" will proceed with
"maintenance" lenalidomide given orally on days 1-21 of each 28-day cycle. Treatment will
continue, in the absence of prohibitive toxicity, until the time of disease progression.
