New agents for treatment of advanced transitional cell carcinoma Perabo FG; Muller SCAnn Oncol 2007[May]; 18 (5): 835-43The prognosis for any patient with progressive or recurrent invasive transitional cell carcinoma remains poor. In this context, the focus of clinical research in these invasive cancers concentrates on identifying systemic treatment options and new agents in order to improve survival of patients. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is standard treatment of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer; however, despite regimens as the cisplatin-gemcitabine combination, the overall response rates vary between 40% and 65%, with complete response in 15%-25% with survivals up to 16 months. This survival is frequently achieved with severe and life-threatening side effects. None the less, almost all responding patients relapse within the first year; therefore, the need for development of new and tolerable agents is urgent. This review highlights some new active chemotherapeutic as new platinum compounds (oxaliplatin, lobaplatin), gallium nitrate, ifosfamide, the antifolates piritrexim and pemetrexed (Alimta, LY231514), vinflunine and molecular targeting agents such as farnesyltransferase inhibitors (lonafarnib, R115777, SCH66336), ribozyme (RPI.4610), histone deacetylase inhibitor (CI-994) and monoclonal antibodies (epidermal growth factor receptor, Her 2/neu).|Antibodies, Monoclonal/adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH]|Antineoplastic Agents/*adverse effects/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols/adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH]|Carcinoma, Transitional Cell/*drug therapy[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Enzyme Inhibitors/adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Multicenter Studies as Topic[MESH]|Neoplasm Metastasis/drug therapy[MESH]|Neoplasm Recurrence, Local/drug therapy[MESH] |
