Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluation of efficacy in terms of progression-free survival at 3 years of the combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) versus high dose methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin and cisplatin (HD-MVAC) as perioperative chemotherapy for locally advanced -transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.;Secondary Objective: To assess toxicity (CTC AE v4.0) To assess response rate (RR) in patients treated in the neoadjuvant setting To assess overall survival (OS) To assess time to progression (TTP) To study the correlation between response rate, time to progression, overall survival and biological parameters. ;Primary end point(s): progression-free survival (PFS) in patients at 3 years ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Survival rates will be estimated according to Kaplan-Meier. The event times for the analysis of PFS will be calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of progression or death. Patients who do not progress nor die will be censored at the last visit date, or at the date of a secondary treatment initiation in the case of absence of progression.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Toxicity (CTC AE v4.0) Response (RECIST criteria) Overall survival (OS) Time to progression (TTP) correlation with biological parameters focusing on gemcitabine and cisplatin sensitivity;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 5 years
