Measure
Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, and Sunitinib
This is a phase II study of GCS (Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, and Sunitinib) as neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Patients with muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma who are candidates for radical cystectomy will be enrolled. Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, and Sunitinib: Patients will receive four cycles of GCS administered every 21 days followed by radical cystectomy. Sunitinib will be administered at a dose of 25mg orally once daily for 2 consecutive weeks followed by a 1 week rest period. Gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 35 mg/m2 will be administered intravenously on days 1 and 8.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

The time to disease progression is measured from the time of initiation of chemotherapy until the first date that systemic recurrence is objectively documented. Systemic recurrence for this trial is defined as either metastatic or local pelvic recurrence.
