Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Have or cytologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium (renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder or urethra)
  • Received 1 or 2 prior treatment regimens for advanced or metastatic disease
  • Confirmed radiologic disease progression during or following recent treatment
  • Mandatory is required during screening
  • per v1.1
  • Adequate organ function
  • 0 or 1

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor
  • Symptomatic and/or untreated
  • Duodenal stent and/or any gastrointestinal disorder that may interfere with absorption of rucaparib
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST Version 1.1

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator. Complete Response (CR) is disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR), is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameter.

    Time frame: Time from first dose to date of progression, up to approximately 19 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) According to RECIST v1.1, as Assessed by the Investigator

    PFS is calculated as 1+ the number of days from the first dose of study drug to disease progression by RECIST, as determined by the investigator or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 to End of Treatment, up to approximately 10 months

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as time from the date of first dose of rucaparib to the date of death due to any cause. Patients without a known date of death were to be censored on the date the patient was last known to be alive. A Kaplan-Meier analysis of OS was planned, however, due to early study termination and limited duration of OS follow-up, a descriptive summary of total deaths are presented. This includes deaths recorded on study (from first dose of study drug until 28 days after last dose of study drug), and deaths recorded in long-term follow-up (from last dose +28 days until death, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or study closure).

    Time frame: The total study time for reporting of deaths was approximately 19 months.

  3. Pharmacokinetics - Trough (Cmin) Level Rucaparib Concentrations

    Plasma were collected for trough level PK analysis of rucaparib 1 hour before the morning dose on Cycle 2 Day 1, Cycle 3 Day 1, and Cycle 4 Day 1.

    Time frame: From Cycle 2 Day 1 to Cycle 4 Day 1, or approximately 2 months

Limitations and caveats
The study was terminated early based on an interim analysis by the Data Monitoring Committee that demonstrated that ORR did not meet the protocol-defined continuance criteria. There were no confirmed responses observed.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 9, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
