fluorouracil and Cancer of Muscle

fluorouracil has been researched along with Cancer of Muscle in 7 studies

Fluorouracil: A pyrimidine analog that is an antineoplastic antimetabolite. It interferes with DNA synthesis by blocking the THYMIDYLATE SYNTHETASE conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid.
5-fluorouracil : A nucleobase analogue that is uracil in which the hydrogen at position 5 is replaced by fluorine. It is an antineoplastic agent which acts as an antimetabolite - following conversion to the active deoxynucleotide, it inhibits DNA synthesis (by blocking the conversion of deoxyuridylic acid to thymidylic acid by the cellular enzyme thymidylate synthetase) and so slows tumour growth.

Trial Overview

TrialPhaseEnrollmentStudy TypeStart DateStatus
A Phase II Randomized Trial for Patients With Muscle-Invading Bladder Cancer Evaluating Transurethral Surgery and BID Irradiation Plus Either Paclitaxel and Cisplatin or 5-Fluorouracil and Cisplatin Followed by Selective Bladder Preservation and Gemcitabi[NCT00055601]Phase 297 participants (Actual)Interventional2002-12-31Completed
[information is prepared from clinicaltrials.gov, extracted Sep-2024]

Trial Outcomes

Bladder-intact Survival Rate (5 Years)

Bladder-intact survival was measured from the date of randomization to occurrence of cystectomy or death. Five-year rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. (NCT00055601)
Timeframe: From the date of randomization to five years.

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Pelvic RT + Paclitaxel + Cisplatin67
Pelvic RT + Fluorouracil + Cisplatin71

Complete Response After Induction

Complete response requires the absence of any tumor in the tumor-site biopsy specimen or elsewhere and a bimanual exam that does not indicate the presence of a tumor mass. (NCT00055601)
Timeframe: From randomization to eight weeks

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Pelvic RT + Paclitaxel + Cisplatin72
Pelvic RT + Fluorouracil + Cisplatin62

Treatment Completion Rate

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy per protocol or within acceptable variation guidelines based on central review. The study was designed for a two-sided binomial test with 87% power and a significance level of 0.05 with a null hypothesis of a 70% completion rate against the alternative 90% completion rate. For each arm, more than 34 out of 43 evaluable patients completing the treatment, would indicate to reject the null hypothesis for a better treatment completion rate. Fewer than 24 out 43 evaluable patients completing the treatment would indicate to reject the null hypothesis for a worse treatment completion rate. Otherwise, the conclusion would be that there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis of a 70% completion rate in either direction. (NCT00055601)
Timeframe: From randomization to 11 weeks

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Pelvic RT + Paclitaxel + Cisplatin67
Pelvic RT + Fluorouracil + Cisplatin53
