Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is most effective for transitional cell cancer of the urothelium

PURPOSE Randomized phase IIIII trial to compare different combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who have transitional cell cancer of the urothelium
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the antitumor activity of gemcitabine and carboplatin vs methotrexate carboplatin and vinblastine in patients with transitional cell cancer of the urothelium who are ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy
Compare the toxicity and acute and intermediate 1-2 years side effects of these regimens in these patients
Compare the complete response rates progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the symptoms and quality of life of patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive methotrexate IV and vinblastine IV on days 1 15 and 22 and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Arm II Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

NOTE Methotrexate is omitted for patients with pleural effusion or ascites until complete resolution and for patients with a glomerular filtration rate less than 30 mLmin or creatinine greater than 2 mgdL

Patients in either arm who achieve a complete response CR receive 2 additional courses of chemotherapy beyond CR

Quality of life is assessed at baseline after every 2 courses of chemotherapy and within 6 weeks of completion of therapy

Patients are followed within 6 weeks every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 156 patients 78 per treatment arm will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study A total of 225 patients will be accrued for the phase II III portions of this study within 5 years
