E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Does treatment with a new drug called Nintedanib (used in combination with standard treatment) help to improve the removal of cancer cells from the sample of bladder tissue taken from the patient compared to if the patient were to receive standard treatment alone. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Can the time in which the disease does not get any worse be extended for a patient by using a new drug called Nintedanib (used in combination with standard treatment) compared to if the patient were to receive standard treatment alone.
Does treatment with a new drug called Nintedanib (used in combination with standard treatment) help to prolong how long a patient lives for compared to if the patient were to receive standard treatment alone. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Phase II randomised placebo controlled NEOadjuvant chemotherapy study of Nintedanib with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in locally advanced muscle invasive BLADder cancEr NEO-BLADE Version 2.0 A small, safety, dose confirmation sub-study will be carried out in parallel with the main study for renally impaired patients (GFR 40-60ml/min)to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Nintedanib added to a standard dose of cisplatin (split dose) and gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced, muscle-invasive, bladder cancer. |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Aged 18 or over • Histologically proven invasive TCC of bladder • Localised muscle invasive carcinoma • ECOG performance status grade 0 to 1 • Adequate haematological function as evidenced by: a) Haemoglobin >10.0g/dl b) White blood cell count >3.0 x10 9/L c) Absolute neutrophil count >1.5 x10 9/L d) Platelet count >100,000/mm3 • Adequate Hepatic function as evidenced by: a) Total Bilirubin <1.5 xULN b) Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) levels <2 xULN c) Aspartate transaminase (AST)/Alanine transaminase (ALT) levels <3.0 xULN • Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) > 60ml/min* measured by either**: a) EDTA clearance b) 24 hr Urine collection c) The Cockcroft-Gault calculation As per local standard practice; Available for 12-month follow up • Agree to use adequate contraception which they agree to continue for 3 months after the study treatment • Suitable for treatment with Gemcitabine and Cisplatin • Able to receive radical treatment • Able to provide written informed consent
*Following safety review from the safety sub-study, the ISDMC and the funder will decide whether the data indicates that it is suitable for patients with impaired GFR (40-60 ml/minute) to be included in the trial using split dose cisplatin 35 mg/m2 on day 1 and day 8 and which dose of Nintedanib/Placebo will be used for the main study. **The same method used to measure GFR at screening should be used for each patient throughout the trial. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Pregnant or breast feeding • Concomitant or previous malignancy which is likely to interfere with protocol treatment • Evidence of significant clinical disorder, or laboratory finding which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial. • Male and female patients (of childbearing potential* not using adequate contraception and do not agree to do so for 3 months following Nintedanib treatment • Evidence of metastatic disease • Patients who require therapeutic anticoagulation (except low-dose heparin and/or heparin flush as needed for maintenance of an in-dwelling intravenous device) or anti-platelet therapy (except for low-dose therapy with acetylsalicylic acid <325 mg per day) • Hypersensitivity to nintedanib, peanut or soya, or to any of the excipients of nintedanib * Patients will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless surgically sterilised by hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation/salpingectomy, or post-menopausal for at least two years.
Note Patients with hydronephrosis can be included if the kidney/ureter has been stented, or nephrostomy has been inserted, and renal function has been maintained to allow neoadjuvant chemotherapy to be administered satisfactorily
