Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients with muscularis propria invasion clinical stages 2 to 4 (T2-4b, N0 or N+, M0
             or T1 with N+), who are not candidates for radical cystectomy.

               -  Patients may have undergone partial cystectomy for removal of bladder tumor prior
                  to chemoradiation. Patients who have M1 disease at any time prior to start of
                  treatment are not eligible.

               -  Staging is determined prior to chemoradiation

          -  Patients have been evaluated by a urologic oncologist to determine eligibility for
             radical cystectomy prior to chemoradiation. Patients may not be candidates for radical
             cystectomy due to one or more reasons such as but not limited to comorbidities, age,
             surgical risk or patient refusal to undergo radical cystectomy. Patients who refuse to
             undergo radical cystectomy are not required to be evaluated by a urologic oncologist.

          -  Patients must have histologically proven primary adenocarcinoma, transitional,
             squamous-cell, or sarcomatoid carcinoma primary of the bladder, urethra, or lower
             ureter.

          -  Treating investigator has determined that the patients are not a candidate for radical
             cystectomy. Patients have been evaluated by a urologic oncologist to determine
             eligibility for radical cystectomy prior to chemoradiation. Patients may not be
             candidates for radical cystectomy due to one or more reasons such as, but not limited
             to, comorbidities, age, surgical risk, or patient refusal to undergo radical
             cystectomy.

          -  Tumor tissue from the most recently resected site of disease (preferable) or from the
             transurethral resection that yielded the initial muscle invasive diagnosis must be
             provided for biomarker correlative analyses. Enrollment is permitted if adequate
             archived tissue is unavailable.

          -  Patients must have received systemic radiosensitizing chemotherapy with definitive
             pelvic radiation therapy. Patients may have received partial amount of chemotherapy
             and radiation (both) to be eligible.

             control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course
             of the study through 5 months after the last dose of study medication. Subjects of
             childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not
             been free from menses for > 1 year.

          -  Male subjects should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Two-year rate of failure-free survival (FFS)
Time Frame:2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The definition of failure will include loco-regional recurrence, and distant recurrence. The primary endpoint of the FFS will be determined based on disease recurrence date defined as the time between the start date of chemoradiation and the date of first recurrence or non-cancer related death.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Rate of failure-free survival at two years in subjects with intact bladder (FFSIB).
Time Frame:2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:This will be measured only in subjects who do not have local recurrence requiring radical cystectomy. The endpoint of FFSIB will be determined based on disease recurrence date defined as the time between the start date of chemoradiation and the date of first recurrence or non-cancer related death.
Measure:Rate of acute and late grade 2 or higher treatment related Genitourinary, Gastrointestinal, hematologic and immune related adverse events.
Time Frame:Patient safety will be evaluated throughout the treatment period and follow up (treatment with Nivolumab is expected to last 1 year for each patient and follow up for 2 years)
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Effect of treatment on Quality of Life
Time Frame:Quality of life questionnaires done every 3 months while patients are on treatment for 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Cystoscopic Local Control
Time Frame:Done at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Evaluate cystoscopic local control at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post start of chemoradiation after censoring for distant recurrence. The endpoint will be measurement of local recurrence at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years as determined by cystoscopy.
Measure:Rate of salvage cystectomy
Time Frame:During study treatment that is expected to last for 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:Evaluate the rate of salvage cystectomy. This will be measured by the endpoint of radical cystectomy for local recurrence during study treatment.
Measure:Rate of distant failure free survival
Time Frame:2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Evaluate the rate of distant failure free survival at two years in subjects with intact bladder and those who discontinue study to undergo salvage cystectomy. This will be measured in subjects who do and do not have local recurrence requiring radical cystectomy during study treatment. The endpoint FFS will be determined based on disease recurrence date defined as the time between the start date of chemoradiation and the date of first distant recurrence or non-cancer related death.
Measure:Overall Survival
Time Frame:5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Evaluate overall survival up to 5 years. This will be measured by the rate of death for up to 5 years from start of chemoradiation
