2017 
4527Background: This phase I/II trial assessed the safety, feasibility and efficacy of cetuximab (Cet) in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and mitomycin C (MMC) with concurrent radiotherapy (RT) for the treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). BC2001 trial has previously reported significant improvement in locoregional control in patients (pts) with MIBC who were randomised to synchronous chemo-RT compared to RT alone (James, Hussain, Hall et al NEJM 2012). Results for phase I have been reported previously. This abstract reports the combined results of phases I/II. Methods: From September 2012 to October 2016, 33 pts were recruited (7 pts to phase I from 2 UK centres and 26 patients to phase II from 5 UK centres). Pts received loading dose of Cet 400 mg/m2 followed by weekly Cet 250 mg/m2 for 7 weeks, continuous infusion 5FU 500mg/m2/day during fractions 1-5 and 16-20 of RT and MMC 12mg/m2on day 1 in combination with radical RT 64 Gy in 32 fractions. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was mandatory ...
