Adjuvant chemotherapy

Observation

Regimen

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
Stadler et al. 2011 (SWOG-4B951) 1997-2006 Phase 3 (C) MVAC Did not meet primary endpoint of RFS
Paz-Ares et al 2010 (SOGUG 99/01) 2000-2007 Phase 3 (C) PGC Inferior OS
Cognetti et al. 2011 (ITNRC CU02) 2001-2007 Phase 3 (C) GC Did not meet primary endpoint of OS
Sternberg et al. 2014 (EORTC 30994) 2002-2008 Phase 3 (C) MVAC Did not meet primary endpoint of OS

Patients in SOGUG 99/01 had pT3-4 and/or pN positive disease with adequate renal function (CrCl more than 50 mL/min/1.73m2). This arm underwent cystectomy and no further treatment. The study prematurely closed due to poor recruitment and lacks adequate power to make firm conclusions.

Biomarker eligibility criteria

  • SWOG-4B951: positive p53 staining

Preceding treatment

Subsequent treatment

  • EORTC 30994, upon relapse: First-line MVAC x 6
