Brief Summary

This study aims to analyse the tolerability (side effects and safety) with standard treatment (Javlor®) with the addition of a second anti-tumour drug: sorafenib (Nexavar®). This is the first time thi...

  • hepatic function: bilirubin \<1.5 x ULN\*, transaminases \<2.5 x ULN\*
  • \*ULN = upper limit of normal value
  • renal function: creatinine clearance 40 ml/min (measured by either iohexol clearance or Cr-EDTA technique);
  • Clinically normal cardiac function based on ejection fraction (LVEF assessed by MUGA or ECHO, LVEF ≥50%);
  • able to swallow and retain oral medication;
  • previous treatment related toxicity must be grade ≤1 at time of inclusion and no presence of asthenia, hand-foot skin reaction or rash grade \>1 (NCI CTCAE v4.0) at enrolment;
  • no known or suspected allergy to the investigational agent or any agents given in association with this trial;

Exclusion

  • non-transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelial tract (e.g. pure adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma);
  • prior treatment with vinflunine;
  • diagnosed brain metastases or leptomeningeal involvement. Brain CT-scans or MRI are not required unless there is clinical suspicion of central nervous system involvement.
  • peripheral neuropathy G3 (NCI CTCAE v4.0);
  • history of serious or concurrent illness or uncontrolled medical disorder; any medical condition that might be aggravated by treatment or which could not be controlled: active infection requiring antibiotics within 2 weeks before the study inclusion, unstable diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypercalcaemia \>2.9 mmol/L (or \>G2 NCI CTCAE v4.0), concurrent congestive heart failure NYHA (class III-IV) or any type of angina pectoris and/or a diagnosis of myocardial infarction during the previous 6 months and/or poorly controlled hypertension will be excluded, QTc \>450 ms at baseline, additional risk factors for Torsade de Pointes (heart failure and hypokalemia (≥G1, i.e. P-K \<LLN-2.5 mM) or family history of long QT-syndrome), cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmics (excluding beta-blockers or digoxin for chronic atrial fibrillation);
  • patients having received more than one previous systemic chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease;
  • patients who have received any other investigational or anti-cancer therapy 14 days before the inclusion;
  • other malignancies, except adequately treated basal carcinoma of the skin or in-situ cervix carcinoma or incidental prostate cancer (T1a, Gleason score ≤6, PSA \<0.5 ng/ml), or any other tumour with a disease free survival of ≥5 years;
  • pregnant or lactating women;
  • men or women of childbearing potential not employing adequate contraception;
  • any psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition which does not permit protocol compliance and medical follow-up.
  • poorly controlled hypertension. At baseline, blood pressure \>150/90 is defined as poorly controlled.
  • renal dysfunction: creatinine clearance \<40 ml/min measured by either iohexol clearance or Cr-EDTA technique.
  • ECOG / WHO Performance Status ≥2
  • presence of hand-foot skin reaction or rash \>G1 at enrolment;
  • known or suspected allergy to the investigational agent or any agents given in association with this trial;
  • current medical treatment with any compound that prolongs QTc
