Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving gemcitabine directly into the bladder after surgery may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving gemcitabine directly into the bladder is more effective than a placebo in treating bladder cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying gemcitabine to see how well it works when given directly into the bladder compared with a placebo after surgery in treating patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent bladder cancer.

Primary Outcome

Percentage of patients who experienced a recurrence of grade 1 or 2 superficial transitional cell cancer of the bladder between the date of registration and 24 months. Disease recurrence considered to occur at date of first observation of recurrent disease subsequently confirmed by biopsy. Patients without recurrence were censored at the time of their last cystoscopy.

Interventions

  • OTHER placebo
  • DRUG gemcitabine hydrochloride
