Genitourinary (GU) Cancer Research Program

Our group is focused on the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the treatment of patients with genitourinary (GU) cancers, which includes prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer among others. Our approach involves the retrospective development of candidate prognostic and predictive biomarkers utilizing a comprehensive clinical database and specimen biorepository along with prospective validation of these biomarkers in clinical trials. By combining mechanism-based molecular markers with novel therapeutics, our ultimate goal is to ultimately enhance the care of patients with genitourinary malignancies by maximizing the likelihood of benefit from treatment while minimizing the risk of adverse events.

GU Cancer Database: Creating and maintaining a high quality database and GU tumor bank in which clinical data and biological specimens are collected and stored to support basic and translational research

Predicting Response to Platinum Chemotherapy in Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) Using a Genomic Signature for ‘BRCA-ness’: 1) Identify a clinical and pathologic phenotype of men with prostate cancers which express a ‘BRCA-ness’ signature base on known germline BRCA1 and 2 breast cancers 2) Conduct a prospective trial of oral satraplatin as second-line chemotherapy for metastatic CRPC and correlate response and survival to the ‘BRCAness’ signature.

Multi-center Phase IB/II Trial of Gemcitabine, Cisplatin, Plus Lenalidomide As First-Line Therapy for Patients with Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma: Determine the recommended dose of the combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin, plus lenalidomide in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma and evaluate the activity of this regimen as determined by the objective response rate.

Multi-center Phase II Trial of Single-Agent Amrubicin as Second-Line Therapy in Patients with Advanced/Metastatic Refractory Urothelial Carcinoma: Determine the objective response rate to treatment with amrubicin.

This project is establishing a large retrospective database detailing the care of patients with advanced bladder cancer (and other cancers of the urothelial tract) for the purposes of:

  • Generating insights regarding patterns of care 
  • Exploring prognostic and predictive variables
  • Informing future clinical trial design
  • Performing comparative effectiveness analyses
  • Assessing the impact of comorbidities on patient outcomes 

Each of these analyses will be used to enhance the care of future patients with cancers of the bladder (and other cancers of the urothelial tract). RISC is an international, multi-center, collaborative effort with Mount Sinai functioning as the data coordinating center.

The Tisch Cancer Institute established the Genitourinary (GU) Cancer Biorepository in 2010 to develop a repository for biomarker development through collection of liquid and tissue specimens from cancer patients at multiple points during their cancer therapy. As of June 2012, 500 patients have been consented to this project.

CLINICAL DATA: All patients with a GU cancer diagnosis irrespective of tissue specimen availability are approached for participation. Patient medical records are reviewed and data points relevant to cancer diagnosis, disease progression, and treatment information are entered into a clinical research database. Updates occur after each clinic visit.

LIQUID SPECIMENS: A blood draw is performed at standard-of-care (SOC) clinic visits and resulting liquid specimens frozen at -80C for future research use.

TISSUE SPECIMENS: If a patient is scheduled for an SOC surgical procedure, research samples are isolated from any excised tissue for both formalin-fixation and freezing at -80C for future research use.

LINKAGE BETWEEN CLINICAL DATA AND SPECIMENS: All collected specimens are recorded in a specimen database which is data-linked to the clinical research database. These clinically annotated specimens are readily available to investigators who wish to do cancer research.

If you are interested in gaining access to our clinically annotated GU cancer specimens, please review and complete the Specimen Request Form.
