Gemcitabine plus cisplatin have been the most studied and used anticancer agents in patients with local advanced and/or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of urothelial tract even if clinical benefits and survival remains limited. The purpose of this study is to test in a randomized trial enrolling patients for comparing the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus S-1 with Gemcitabine plus cisplatin, in order to determine the most promising agents as the first line treatment of advanced and/or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of urothelial tract.

Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel is given at 120mg/m2 intravenously over 30 minutes on day 1 and 8, in combination with S-1 which is orally administered (40-60 mg according to the body surface, Bid) on day 1-14 of each 21-days cycle. Number of cycle: 6 cycles.
Gemcitabine is given at 1000mg/m2 combination with cisplatin 75mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 and 8 of each 21-days cycle. Number of cycle: 6 cycles.

Progression-free survival
Measure the time of progression-free from start of treatment, assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1
Time frame: up to 12 months
Overall response rate
The proportion of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response (CR or PR) according to RECIST v1.1. CR = disappearance of all target lesions. PR = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
Time frame: every 2 cycles (6 weeks) until treatment discontinuation, an expected average of 1 year.
Disease control rate
Defined by RECIST criteria (version 1.1) as a percentage of best overall responses of CR+PR+SD.
Time frame: change from baseline in tumor assessment at 18 weeks (cycle 6).
Overall survival
Measure of time from Day 1 of study drug administration to disease progression or death or lost to follow-up on study.
Time frame: every 8 weeks until disease progression or death on study, an expected average of 2 years. Patients with progressive disease will be followed every 3 months for the first year and every 6 months thereafter up to 5 years.
The number of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and serous adverse events (SAEs) as a measure of safety
The reported incidence of AEs and SAEs with an onset on or after the initiation of therapy will be graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.03.
Time frame: every 3 weeks until treatment discontinuation plus 30 days, an expected average of 1 year.
