Brief summary

The purpose of this Phase II study is to determine if AZD4877, an experimental drug that is a novel anti-mitotic agent (Eg5 or Kinesin Spindle Protein inhibitor that interferes with tumor cell division leading to tumor growth), can reduce tumor sizes in patients with bladder cancer

Recruitment details

Patients were recruited at 23 study sites in 5 countries: United States (7 centers), United Kingdom (6 centers), Germany (5 centers), Canada (3 centers), and Spain (2 centers) between 29 May 2008 and 11 January 2010. 54 participants were enrolled into the study of which 41 participants received at least one dose of study medication.

Pre-assignment details

Following enrolment there was a screening period of up to 28 days, after which if all inclusion/exclusion criteria were met, patients were dosed with AZD4877.

Percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.0 (Therasse et al. Natl Cancer Inst 92 (2000) pp205-216).

Time frame: 8 weeks after study drug begins & and every 8 wks thereafter until discontinuation of study drug ( maximum treatment period of 309 days (44 weeks)

Population: Of the 41 participants who received at least one dose of study medication, only 39 were evaluable for response by RECIST (excludes 2 patients who had baseline scans performed more than 28 days before dosing).
