A Phase I/II Trial of a Combination of Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab With Daily Irradiation or Paclitaxel Alone With Daily Irradiation Following Transurethral Surgery for Non-Cystectomy Candidates With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer


PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the acute toxicity (=< 90 days from protocol treatment start) from
chemoradiotherapy including paclitaxel +/- trastuzumab and irradiation in non-cystectomy
patients with or without her2/neu overexpression.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the ability of patients with bladder cancer who are non-cystectomy
candidates to complete this treatment program.

II. To evaluate the efficacy of this treatment program in achieving a complete response of
the primary tumor.

III. To measure the 5-year disease-free and overall survival of patients with bladder cancer
treated with TURB followed by chemoradiotherapy.

IV. To estimate the value of tumor and/or serum biomarkers as predictors of initial tumor
response and recurrence-free survival.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2
treatment groups according to HER2/neu status (HER2/neu 2+ or 3+ staining [group 1] vs
HER2/neu 0 or 1+ staining [group 2]).

GROUP I: Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, 22,
29, 36, and 43 and trastuzumab (Herceptin®) IV over 90 minutes on day 1 and then over 30
minutes on days 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, and 43. Patients also undergo radiotherapy once daily on
days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-33, 36-40, 43-47, and 50. Treatment continues in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP II: Patients receive paclitaxel and undergo radiotherapy as in group 1.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4-5 weeks, every 3 months for
1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
