The primary objective of this nonrandomized Phase II study is to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR, CR+PR) in patients with advanced/metastatic UC treated with the combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin, and sunitinib.
Given the strong preclinical rationale for targeting angiogenesis in urothelial carcinoma (UC), the evidence supporting co-targeting of VEGFR2 and PDGF, the safety and efficacy of single-agent sunitinib in patients with UC, and preclinical evidence of synergy with the combination of sunitinib and cisplatin, the evaluation of sunitinib in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin in previously untreated patients with metastatic UC is warranted.

Patients will receive gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 IV (Days 1 and 8), cisplatin 60 mg/m2 IV (Day 1), and sunitinib 37.5 mg PO daily (Days 1-14) of each 21-day cycle. 2\. One cycle of treatment is defined as 21 days (3 weeks). Restaging studies will be performed after every 3 cycles of therapy. 3\. Successive cycles will be initiated every 3 weeks, and will be continued through 6 cycles unless a patient shows evidence of disease progression or intolerable toxicity.
Objective Response Rate (ORR, CR+PR) in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic UC Treated With the Combination of Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, and Sunitinib.
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.
Time frame: 2 years
Progression-free Survival
PFS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression or date of death, whichever comes first. If a patient neither progresses nor dies, this patient will be censored at last contact date. Progression (PD) is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
Time frame: 2 years
Ovarall Survival (OS)
OS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death for a dead patient. If a patient is still alive or is lost to follow up, the patient will be censored at the last contact date.
Time frame: 2 years
