Ciprofloxacin Compared With Cephalexin in Treating Patients With Bladder Cancer
This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.

National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Cancer and Leukemia Group B
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00003824
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. It is not yet known whether ciprofloxacin is more effective than cephalexin in preventing cancer recurrence in patients who are undergoing surgery to treat bladder cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of ciprofloxacin with that of cephalexin in preventing recurrence of cancer in patients who are undergoing surgery for bladder cancer.

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Estimated Enrollment: 900
Study Start Date: April 1999
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether ciprofloxacin improves the recurrence-free survival of patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder treated with a transurethral tumor resection.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease status (first occurrence vs recurrent disease). Patients are randomized to receive either oral ciprofloxacin or oral cephalexin 2 times a day for 3 days starting the night before resection. Patients who are allergic to penicillin or a cephalosporin receive oral co-trimoxazole 2 times a day for 3 days. All patients undergo complete resection of all bladder tumors. Patients are followed every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months for the next 2 years, and at the end of the fifth year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 900 patients will be accrued for this study over 3 years.
