A Phase 2 interventional study of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil in Bladder Cancer, sponsored by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group. Completed at 13 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 120 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-09-19.
Sponsored by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, mitomycin C, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy given together with chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage I bladder cancer.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 3 years, and annually thereafter until termination of the study.
