Brief summary
The primary focus of this study is to see if looking at tumor biomarkers using a program called coexpression extrapolation or COXEN may predict a patient's response to chemotherapy before surgery.
Detailed description
The COXEN program will not select a patient's therapy, but the type of chemotherapy that he/she will receive will be randomly decided. The patient's response to chemotherapy will be used to test the usefulness of the COXEN program, which is the main goal of this trial. Other potential tests to predict a patient's response to chemotherapy will also be evaluated. In this study, the patient may receive the treatment in Arm 1 (gemcitabine and cisplatin) or the treatment in Arm 2 \[methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and filgrastim (or pegfilgrastim)\]. There will be about 230 people taking part in this study (115 in each arm).

Pathologic T0 Rate Evaluation: Gemcitabine+Cisplatin (GC) Versus Dose-dense Methotrexate, Vinblastin, Doxorubicin, and Cisplatin (DDMVAC)
Pathologic complete response rate at the time of cystectomy following GC or DDMVAC treatment
Time frame: Up to 5 years post-registration
Population: Participants who received treatment in Gemcitabine \& Cisplatin and Dose Dense MVAC arms.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Gemcitabine & Cisplatin | Pathologic T0 Rate Evaluation: Gemcitabine+Cisplatin (GC) Versus Dose-dense Methotrexate, Vinblastin, Doxorubicin, and Cisplatin (DDMVAC) | 36 percentage of participants |
| Dose Dense MVAC | Pathologic T0 Rate Evaluation: Gemcitabine+Cisplatin (GC) Versus Dose-dense Methotrexate, Vinblastin, Doxorubicin, and Cisplatin (DDMVAC) | 42 percentage of participants |
Predictability of the CO-eXpression ExtrapolatioN (COXEN) Score to Direct Which of the Two Regimens the Patient Should Receive: Gemcitabine+Cisplatin (GC) Versus Dose-dense Methotrexate, Vinblastin, Doxorubicin, and Cisplatin (DDMVAC)
In addition to stratification factors and dichotomous COXEN GEM score, an indicator for treatment arm and the interaction of treatment arm with COXEN GEM score was also included in a logistic regression model. A significant interaction would suggest that the respective COXEN GEM score was able to differentiate whether a patient was more likely to respond to one chemotherapy regimen over another. \*note that this is the same objective at Primary Outcome #3 above - this was erroneously listed twice in the protocol.
Time frame: Up to 5 years post registration
Population: Eligible participants that were evaluable for COXEN analysis. Participants in this arm were pooled to test the ability of the COXEN algorithm to distinguish between GC and ddMVAC treatment, with the assumption that there is no interaction between the COXEN score and treatment arm.

Value of Gene Expression Profiling in Predicting Overall Survival (OS)
5-year OS curve was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Included all COXEN evaluable participants regardless of arm assignment. The report groups were favorable vs. unfavorable COXEN status.
Time frame: Up to 5 years post registration
Population: Eligible participants across both arms that were evaluable for COXEN analysis.
| Arm | Measure | Group | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemcitabine & Cisplatin | Value of Gene Expression Profiling in Predicting Overall Survival (OS) | Favorable COXEN Status | 76 Percent of Participants |
| Gemcitabine & Cisplatin | Value of Gene Expression Profiling in Predicting Overall Survival (OS) | Unfavorable COXEN Status | 71 Percent of Participants |
