Study Summary

Bladder cancer is a common disease with high rates of mortality, especially at advanced stages. Neo-adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy is considered standard of care for patients with muscle invasive disease, as NAC improves surgical outcomes in these patients. However, some patients are ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy due to other medical issues. Although a combination of carboplatin and gemcitabine has been used with limited success, most patients proceed directly to cystectomy without realizing the potential survival benefit afforded by NAC. Intravenous ascorbate (vitamin C) administration (IVC) has been shown to improve both carboplatin and gemcitabine-based therapy in other models. This trial will add IVC to gemcitabine/carboplatin chemotherapy to evaluate whether co-treatment will increase therapeutic efficacy.

Primary Outcome

Post treatment specimen pathology results evaluated per the WHO TNM staging system. The staging system is a qualitative assessment based on the results of the physical exam, biopsy, imaging tests, and the results of surgery. The earliest stage cancers are called stage 0 (or carcinoma in situ), and then range from stages I (1) through IV (4). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV, means a more advanced cancer.
