Scientific titlePhase I/II feasibility study of cetuximab with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and mitomycin C or cisplatin with concurrent radiotherapy in muscle invasive bladder cancer
Study acronymTUXEDO
Study objectivesThis is a Phase I combination study, followed by an early phase II, single-arm, multicentre, open-label study.

The primary objective of the phase I study is to determine the feasibility and toxicity profile of cetuximab with 5FU and mitomycin C, and in addition to determine the optimal dose of cisplatin in combination with cetuximab. Feasibility will be based on assessment of using the proposed drugs in combination with radical radiotherapy.

The primary objective of the phase II study is to assess preliminary evidence of the efficacy of the treatment selected from phase I, by determining whether a combination of radiotherapy with cetuximab, and chemotherapy, improves cystoscopic local control of advanced bladder cancer at three months after treatment.
Ethics approval(s)11/LO/1313
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic: Bladder Cancer; Disease: Bladder (advanced)
Intervention1. FU: In cohort I, patients receive 5FU in weeks 1 and 4 as a continuous infusion for 5 days (total of 10 days) concurrently with radiotherapy 2. Cetuximab, Loading dose given in week before start of RT, then given on day 1 of each week of RT (weeks 1 - 7)
3. Cisplatin: Patients in cohorts II and III of phase I receive cisplatin on the first day of each week of radiotherapy (weeks 1 - 7)
4. Mitomycin C: In cohort I, patients receive mitomycin C on day 1 only of week 1 of radiotherapy
5. Radical Radiotherapy: All patients in the study receive 64Gy in 32 fractions (given over 5 days in weeks 1 - 7)

8. Available for long-term follow-up
9. Able to receive a radical course of radiotherapy
10. Patient’s written informed consent
11. Have received 3-4 cycles of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (preferably Gemcitabine/Cisplatin) with a positive response (confirmed by cystoscopy & radiological response) with pre neo-adjuvant imaging computerised tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of abdomen and pelvis.; Target Gender: Male & Female ; Lower Age Limit 18 years
Key exclusion criteria1. Uncontrolled systemic disease which would preclude the patient from participating in the study including severe or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease (congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) III or IV, unstable angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction within the last twelve months, significant arrhythmias
2. Pregnant or breast feeding
3. Concomitant or previous malignancy which is likely to interfere with protocol treatment
4. Inflammatory bowel disease
5. Previous pelvic radiotherapy
6. Bilateral hip replacements compromising accurate radiotherapy planning
7. Evidence of significant clinical disorder, or laboratory finding which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial

9. Significant decrease in GFR during previous chemotherapy treatments
10. Widespread carcinoma in situ (CIS), or CIS remote from the muscle invasive tumour
11. Simultaneous upper tract, urethral or prostatic transitional cell carcinoma
