Bristol Bladder Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
26 patients with invasive primary transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder will receive 4 cycles of combination chemotherapy consisting of Cabazitaxel and Cisplatin both given intravenously on day 1 of each 3 weekly cycle prior to radical cystectomy, to evaluate the overall response rate and to determine whether this approach warrants further research of a phase II/III study.Participation in 2 sub studies will also be offered to the participants.
-
Contrast Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ) scans will be taken at baseline and after cycle 1 and cycle 3.
-
A pilot sub study involving the circulating tumour cell concentration from blood samples taken at baseline, prior to each cycle of chemotherapy and prior to surgery

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall pathological response rate [Histological assessment of radical cystectomy specimen expected to be 15 weeks after commencing study chemotherapy]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To record progression free survival [Up to 5 years following radical cystectomy]
From date of registration until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause whichever came first.
- To assess quality of life [Up to 13 weeks from baseline]
EQ-5D and EORTC QLQC30 and BLM30 will be assessed at baseline and following each cycle of chemotherapy
- To record side effects and tolerability of treatment [Up to 13 weeks from baseline]
Common toxicity criteria adverse events (CTC AE ) Version 4.03 will be assessed at baseline and following each cycle of chemotherapy
- Overall survival [Up to 5 years following radical cystectomy]
From the date of registration to the date of death from any cause.
