DDR Genes Alteration and Response to Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Advanced Urothelial Cancer.

Is NCT06820255 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 4 trial studies multiple treatments including Platinum + Gemcitabine and Avelumab first-line maintenance for bladder (urothelial, transitional cell) cancer metastatic or unresectable.

Phase 4RecruitingFondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCSNCT06820255Data as of Jun 2026Location: Italy

Treatment: Platinum + Gemcitabine · Avelumab first-line maintenanceThis study aims to prospectively observe whether certain alterations in some genes related to the DNA repair mechanism are related to better response to platinum-based chemotherapy used to treat metastatic bladder or urothelial cancers.

Cardiac function

No NYHA class III or worse heart failure (ECOG 2 must not have NYHA class III); no unstable angina, new-onset angina within 3 months, MI <6 months, cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy (beta-blockers/digoxin permitted), uncontrolled hypertension (SBP >150 mmHg or DBP >90 mmHg despite optimal management), no arterial/venous thrombotic/embolic events (CVA, TIA, PE) within 4 months

Adequate bone-marrow, liver, and renal function as assessed by the following laboratory requirements conducted within 7 days of starting to study treatment: Creatinine value <2.5 mg/dl and creatinine clearance > 30 ml/min evaluated by the Cockcroft-Gault Formula. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN; ALT and AST ≤2 × ULN (≤5 × ULN for patients with liver involvement); INR and PTT ≤1.5 × ULN (anticoagulation allowed if stable); Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3, hemoglobin >9 g/dl, ANC >1,500/mm3; alkaline phosphatase ≤2.5 × ULN (≤5 × ULN for patients with liver involvement).
