Randomized Study of Docetaxel +/- Vandetanib in Metastatic TCC

Summary

In this research study the investigators are looking to see if the combination of docetaxel plus Vandetanib is effective in the treatment of metastatic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). Docetaxel is a chemotherapy drug that kills cancer cells that are dividing. It is widely used in TCC. Vandetanib is a drug that is believed to stop new blood vessels from forming around cancer cells. The combination of docetaxel and Vandetanib has been studied in people with lung cancer and found to be helpful in killing cancer cells. Thus, this study is looking at people with TCC, to see if the combination of docetaxel plus Vandetanib is better or worse then docetaxel alone.
