Brief Summary:
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ixabepilone in treating patients who have progressive or metastatic urinary tract cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Distal Urethral Cancer Metastatic Transitional Cell Cancer of the Renal Pelvis and Ureter Proximal Urethral Cancer Recurrent Bladder Cancer Recurrent Transitional Cell Cancer of the Renal Pelvis and Ureter Recurrent Urethral Cancer Regional Transitional Cell Cancer of the Renal Pelvis and Ureter Stage III Bladder Cancer Stage IV Bladder Cancer Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder Urethral Cancer Associated With Invasive Bladder Cancer Drug: ixabepilone Phase 2

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the response rate of patients with advanced carcinoma of the urothelium treated with ixabepilone.

II. Assess the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to prior treatment with taxanes (yes vs no).

Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year.
