Bladder cancer radiation doses tested in safety study
NCT ID NCT01104350
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested the safety of combining different doses of external radiation therapy with the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine in 19 bladder cancer patients. The goal was to find the highest safe dose of radiation that can be given alongside chemo. Participants had early-stage bladder cancer that had not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.

Inclusion Criteria: * MSKCC-reviewed pathologically proven diagnosis of primary bladder urothelial carcinoma without evidence of regional (nodal) or distant spread (cT1-T4a, Nx or N0). * Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) ≥ 70% * Age ≥18 years old * Adequately functioning bladder, defined as continent and without the need for an indwelling catheter * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mL; platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3 serum bilirubin \< 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN); aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN * Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance \> 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the following formula modified Cockcroft and Gault Formula for estimated Creatinine Clearance * Patients must be considered able to tolerate systemic chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy. * Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of distant disease or histologically-proven nodal metastases. Patients with radiologic evidence of lymphadenopathy must have biopsy proof of N0 status. * Previous pelvic radiation therapy * Prior systemic chemotherapy non-cisplatin based neoadjuvant for urothelial carcinoma (prior intravesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy is permissible) * Prior cisplatin based neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy for more than \>4 cycles * Active inflammatory bowel disease (i.e., Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) * Women who are pregnant or lactating
