Adjuvant chemotherapy after radical cystectomy for patients with pT3/4 and/or LN positive (N+) disease without metastases (M0) is still under debate for the limited evidence. This was an open-label, prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled phase III two-arm study. Patients with locally advanced urothelial carcinoma of the bladder after cystectomy were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Arm 1 (control): No immediate post-surgery treatment. Patients undergo observation followed by intra-arterial cisplatin and gemcitabine at local relapse, or receive intravenously chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine at multiple metastases. Arm 2 (treatment): Surgery of percutaneous catheter system for arterial chemotherapy was done in the Department of Invasive Technology. All medications were administered using percutaneous catheter system via a modified Seldinger technique. Treatment would begin between 1-5 weeks after radical cystectomy (within 40 days is recommended). Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the benefit of adjuvant intraarterial chemotherapy (IAC) versus radical cystectomy alone in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-one patients with bladder cancer of pT3-4 or N1-3 without distant metastasis were randomly allocated to control group (75 patients) or to three courses of GC (86 patients). These latter patients were further to receive gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 intra-arterial, cisplatin 25 mg/m2 intra-arterial once a week for 3 weeks followed by 1-week rest period. Maximum of three cycles. RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 33 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 40%, with a statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.037, IAC group 55.4% and control group 41.7%, respectively). The 2 and 1 arms had significantly different disease-free survival(DFS) (P=0.021, 55.4% and 41.7%, respectively). About 79% (68/86) of patients received the planned cycles, and hematologic toxicity was the most common. CONCLUSIONS: Gemcitabine combined with cisplatin intra-arterial adjuvant chemotherapy proved to be an effective adjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced bladder cancer. The IAC showed improve DFS and OS in this study. (CLINICAL TRIALS.GOVIDENTIFIER: NCT01627197).
