Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Gemcitabine and Cisplatin (DD GC) →

Gemcitabine and Cisplatin (DD GC): Participants will receive neoadjuvant ddGC, consisting of gemcitabine and cisplatin administered at shortened intervals (e.g., gemcitabine 1200 mg/m² on days 1 and 8, fractionated cisplatin 35 mg/m² on day 1and 8, every 14 days) with appropriate growth factor support. A total of four cycles are planned before radical cystectomy.

Study summary

To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and pathological response of dose-dense neoadjuvant gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, with the goal of improving tumor downstaging and optimizing outcomes before radical cystectomy.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, clinical stage T2-T4a, N0-N1, M0. * Eligible and fit for cisplatin-based chemotherapy (e.g., creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min). * Candidate for radical cystectomy after neoadjuvant treatment. * ECOG performance status 0-1. * Adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function as per institutional standards. Exclusion Criteria: Histology predominantly other than urothelial carcinoma (e.g., small cell, squamous cell ≥50%). * Clinical or radiological evidence of distant metastases (M1). * Prior systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy for bladder cancer. * Significant renal impairm ent (creatinine clearance \< 60 mL/min). * ECOG performance status ≥ 2. * Significant comorbidities contraindicating chemotherapy (e.g., uncontrolled cardiac disease, severe infection).

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Pathologic Complete Response (pT0N0) Rate — At the time of radical cystectomy (approximately 4-6 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy).
    Proportion of participants with no residual invasive or non-invasive tumor in the bladder and no lymph node involvement (ypT0N0) at the time of radical cystectomy, as determined by histopathological examination of the surgical specimen.
