Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the disparity between the efficacy observed in clinical trials and effectiveness in real-world practice (efficacy-effectiveness gap (EE gap)) in palliative first-line (1L) chemotherapy treatment (CTx) for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. From seven Dutch teaching hospitals, all patients diagnosed with unresectable stage III (cT2-4aN1-3M0) and IV (cT4b and/or cM1) disease, who received 1L-CTx between 2008 and 2016, were captured. Median overall survival (mOS) of gemcitabine + cisplatin (GemCis)-patients was 10.4 months (95%-CI 7.9–13.0), which was shorter compared to clinical trial findings (range mOS: 12.7–14.3 months) despite comparable clinical characteristics. An EE gap seems present. The mOS of gemcitabine + carboplatin (GemCarbo)-patients was 9.3 months (95%-CI 7.5–11.1). GemCarbo patients had worse prognostic characteristics (higher age, impaired renal function and worse performance status (all p-values < 0.001)) compared to GemCis patients, but survival was not statistically significant different in a multivariable regression analysis (HR 0.90 (95%-CI 0.55–1.47), p-value = 0.674).
