Trial Outcomes & Findings for S0219, Combination Chemotherapy Followed By Observation or Surgery in Patients With Stage II or Stage III Cancer of the Urothelium (NCT NCT00045630)

NCT ID: NCT00045630

Last Updated: 2013-05-27

Results Overview

Pathologic complete response (CR) is defined as absence of viable tumor in the TURBT specimen. Stable/No Response is defined as at least some disease evaluation tests were done (same tests as baseline) and status does not qualify for CR or Progression. Progression is defined as one or more of the following must occur: unequivocal progression of disease in the opinion of the treating physician. Appearance of any new lesion/site. Death due to disease without documented progression or symptomatic deterioration.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 12 weeks after registration (assessed within 8 weeks after completion of 3 cycles of chemotherapy )

Population: All eligible patients who started treatment were included in the analysis

Pathologic complete response (CR) is defined as absence of viable tumor in the TURBT specimen. Stable/No Response is defined as at least some disease evaluation tests were done (same tests as baseline) and status does not qualify for CR or Progression. Progression is defined as one or more of the following must occur: unequivocal progression of disease in the opinion of the treating physician. Appearance of any new lesion/site. Death due to disease without documented progression or symptomatic deterioration.

Overall Survival (OS)
59 percentage of participants
Interval 45.0 to 72.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Patients were assessed for adverse events at weeks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and following surgery

Population: Eligible patients who had received any treatment were included in the adverse event summaries. Any CTCAE 3.0 event of Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (life threatening), or Grade 5 (fatal) which deemed to be related to protocol treatment are included.

Adverse Events (AEs) are reported by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 2.0. For each patient, worst grade of each event type is reported. Grade 3 = Severe, Grade 4 = Life-threatening, Grade 5 = Fatal.
