Key Eligibility Criteria
Key Eligibility Criteria Details
  • Histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Variant histology, including neuroendocrine differentiation, is allowed if urothelial cancer is predominant histology (any amount of squamous differentiation is allowed provided the tumor is not a pure squamous cell cancer)
  • Patient must have had radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection >= 3 weeks, but =< 12 weeks prior to pre-registration. Patients who have had a partial cystectomy as definitive therapy are not eligible
  • No gross cancer at the surgical margins. Microscopic invasive urothelial carcinoma at the surgical margins (i.e., "positive margins") are allowed. Carcinoma in situ (CIS) at margins is considered negative margins
  • No evidence of residual cancer or metastasis after cystectomy
  • Have undergone a radical cystectomy with pathological evidence of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder at high risk of recurrence as described in one of the two scenarios below (i or ii).

    • (i) Patients who have not received neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy: pT3-pT4* or pT0/x-pT4/N+ on cystectomy and are not eligible for adjuvant cisplatin chemotherapy

      • (i) Patients ineligible for cisplatin due to at least one of the following criteria and reason for ineligibility should be documented:

        • (i) Creatinine Clearance (using Cockcroft-Gault): < 60 mL/min
        • (i) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5, grade >= 2 audiometric hearing loss
        • (i) CTCAE version 5, grade >= 2 or above peripheral neuropathy
        • New York Heart Association Class III heart failure
        • (i) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = 2
      • (i) Patients who are eligible for cisplatin may be candidates if they refuse available adjuvant chemotherapy, despite being informed by the investigator about the treatment options. The patient's refusal must be documented.

        • (i) Patients with pT2N0 urothelial cancer on cystectomy (without prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy) with ctDNA(+) Signatera results based on an assay performed post-cystectomy as part of routine care outside of the study may proceed with pre-registration but require confirmation of ctDNA(+) Signatera testing on repeat "central testing" in the context of A032103 testing. Patients with pT2N0 with central testing not confirming ctDNA(+) will not be eligible for A032103 (Note: this is distinct from patients with ypT2N0 who are eligible based on ii).
    • (ii) Patients who received cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy: ypT2-ypT4 or ypT0/x-pT4/N+ on cystectomy
  • ECOG PS 0-2
  • No adjuvant systemic threapy after cystectomy
  • No prior PD-1/L1 inhibitor or LAG-3 blockade
  •
