Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43846   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    1. To determine if the addition of the oral COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib to standard therapy is more effective in terms of disease recurrence at 3 years than standard therapy alone for the treatment of superficial TCC of the bladder at high risk of recurrence. 2. To determine if the addition of the oral COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib to standard therapy is more effective in terms of disease recurrence at 3 years than standard therapy alone for the treatment of superficial TCC of the bladder at intermediate risk of recurrence.
    Protection of trial subjects
    For trial entry and optional tissue donation, patients were given a verbal explanation, discussion and written information. The Principal Investigator at each site was responsible for ensuring written informed consent was obtained for each patient. Eligible patients were given as much time as they needed to consider and come to a decision about entering the trial, prior to giving consent for registration. The patient information sheet, described fully which parties would have access to their identifiable personal information and patients were asked to give consent to this. The trial was overseen by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee, who reviewed the accumulating trial data and could recommend stopping the trial if there was any cause for concern about patient safety and if this were the case the patient's oncologist would be notified.
    Background therapy
    Bladder cancer represents the ninth most common cancer with 429 000 newcases per year worldwide. Over 75% of new cases are non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), and following tumour resection, 28–52% of patients develop recurrence within 5 yr. Efforts to reduce recurrence of NMIBC include the use of intravesical chemotherapy and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)
    Evidence for comparator
    Cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme controls a rate-limiting step implicated in carcinogenesis by regulating the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and inhibits apoptosis by overexpressing Bcl-2.COX-2 inhibition results in cell cycle arrest, triggering apoptosis in in vitro studies. A population-based case-controlled study reported that patients taking regular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) had a lower risk of developing bladder cancer (odds ratio 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.68–0.96) compared with patients with nonor irregular NSAID use. Consistent with this, COX-2 is overexpressed in bladder cancer compared with normal urothelium, and COX-2 expression is associated with disease recurrence and progression.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between 1 November 2007 and 23 July 2012, 472 patients (236 celecoxib, 236 placebo) were recruited from 51 centres in the UK. At end of trial (2 November 2020), median follow-up was 65.4 months (Q1 51.5m to Q3 78.9m). The principal analysis of the primary endpoint was done after a median follow-up of 42.6m and published in 2019 (see links below).

    Following TURBT, randomisation was performed by telephone. Treatment was then allocated (1:1) using computer-generated random permuted blocks of size 6, stratified by treating centre and risk group. Treatment allocation was blinded to participants and investigators. The IDMC reviewed safety and efficacy of the trial blinded to treatment allocation. A cardiovascular safety committee (CVSC) was established to review unblinded CV safety data to advise in confidence the IDMC.

    It was recommended that all patients received standard-of-care single intravesical 40 mg in 40 ml of mitomycin C (MMC1) instillation within 24 h following TURBT unless contraindicated. High risk patients received induction BCG (81 mg BCG, Connaught strain) comprising six weekly instillations, and maintenance therapy (three weekly instillations at 4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 mo) was recommended. Study treatment was commenced before BCG induction in high-risk patients. It was recommended that intermediate-risk patients received six weekly instillations of 40 mg MMC (MMC6). Disease recurrence was monitored by regular cystoscopies as per guidelines [3]. Centrally reviewed baseline electrocardiography (ECG) was performed to confirm eligibility, with follow-up ECGs at 12 and 24 mo.

    Time to recurrence of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder
    End point description
    Time to recurrence is defined as the time from randomisation to the first disease recurrence, defined as recurrence of NMIBC or progression to invasive disease in the bladder. Patients alive and recurrence free at the time of analysis and patients lost to follow-up are censored at last available assessment; patients with distant metastatic recurrence or bladder cancer death without prior loco-regional recurrence, or patients with second primaries were censored at the date of the event. Patients who died due to other causes were censored at the time of death.

    Recurrence Rate
    End point description
    Recurrence rate was analysed in the intermediate risk group only, as patients in the high risk group are usually expected to come off study treatment at first recurrence. Recurrence rate is calculated as the number of non-muscle invasive recurrences in the study period divided by the length of the study period. Any NMIBC reported on the same date that the study period ends (e.g. when NMIBC and MIBC are reported at the same visit) are included in the total number of recurrences.

    The previous version 3.0 of the protocol, version 5.0 of the BOXIT-T PIS and consent form and version 1 of the patient letter specified a specific biobank for storage of the BOXIT-T samples. The location of sample storage has since changed but is still within UCL NHS Foundation Trust. Therefore the storage location has been relaxed to read ‘central UCL Biorepository’. In addition, there is a need for the Patient Information Sheet to be provided in a larger font size for the patient population in the BOXIT Study. The font size of the Sample Collection Sub-Study patient information sheet has been increased. There has been no change to the content of the PIS, but in increasing the font size, the number of pages have increased from 3 to 4. This is not a version change. This large font PIS will run in parallel to version 5.1 of the Sample Collection Sub- Study PIS and the version 5.1 consent form will still apply.
