Scientific title
Study objectivesRecent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of cisplatin-based combinations in patients with advanced Transitional Cell Carcinoma (TCC) of the urothelium. Concern over cisplatin toxicity instigated a search for alternative regimens. The aim of the study was to evaluate the activity and tolerability of gemcitabine plus carboplatin combination as first-line treatment in patients with advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium.
Ethics approval(s)The First Affiliated Hospital Ethical Review Board, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University. Approved on 10/12/2002. Ethics Review No. 26 (2002)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAdvanced transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium
InterventionPatients with advanced TCC were treated with gemcitabine 1200 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) 5 on day 1 every 21 days.
