Randomized Phase III Trial of High–Dose-Intensity Methotrexate, Vinblastine, Doxorubicin, and Cisplatin (MVAC) Chemotherapy and Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor Versus Classic MVAC in Advanced Urothelial Tract Tumors: European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Protocol No. 30924

Abstract

With HD-MVAC, it was possible to deliver twice the doses of cisplatin and doxorubicin in half the time, with fewer dose delays and less toxicity. Although a 50% difference in median overall survival was not detected, a benefit was observed in progression-free survival, CR rates, and overall response rates with HD-MVAC.
