Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and NivolumabExperimentalCombination Therapy: Nivolumab 360mg IV, Gemcitabine 100mg/m^2 IV ,Cisplatin 70mg/m^2 IV for four 21-day cycles.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  ECOG Performance Status of ≤ 1 within 28 days prior to registration.

          -  Histological evidence of clinically localized muscle-invasive urothelial cancer of the
             bladder (i.e., ct2-4n0m0). candidate for cystectomy as per treating physician.

          -  Demonstrate adequate organ function per listed criteria:

          -  Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L

          -  Hemoglobin (Hgb): ≥ 9 g/dL

          -  Platelets: ≥ 100 x 10^9/L

          -  Calculated creatinine clearance: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

          -  Bilirubin: ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome,
             who can have total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL)

          -  Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) : ≤ 3 × ULN

          -  Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) : ≤ 3 × ULN

          -  All subjects must have adequate archival tissue identified at screening (i.e., at
             least 15 unstained slides or paraffin block). Subjects without available archival
             tissue must be discussed with the sponsor-investigator.

          -  Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy within 7
             days prior to C1D1. NOTE: "Women of childbearing potential" is defined as any female
             who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization
             (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is
             defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of
             other biological or physiological causes. In addition, women under the age of 62 must
             have a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/mL.

        NOTE: Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) receiving nivolumab must be willing to
        abstain from heterosexual activity or to use 2 forms of effective methods of contraception
        from the time of informed consent to 5 months after the last dose of investigational
        product.. The two contraception methods can be comprised of two barrier methods, or a
        barrier method plus a hormonal method. Men will not be required to use contraception.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Prior treatment with systemic chemotherapy for muscle-invasive urothelial cancer of
             the bladder

          -  Active infection requiring systemic therapy

          -  Pregnant or breastfeeding (NOTE: breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the
             mother is being treated on study).

          -  Any serious or uncontrolled medical disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator,
             may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug
             administration, impair the ability of the subject to receive protocol therapy, or
             interfere with the interpretation of study results.

          -  Prior malignancy active within the previous 3 years except for locally curable cancers
             that have been apparently cured.

             to enroll.

          -  Subjects with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>
             10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14
             days of study drug administration. Inhaled or topical steroids and adrenal replacement
             doses > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active
             autoimmune disease.

          -  Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or
             any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune
             checkpoint pathways.

          -  Grade ≥ 2 neuropathy (NCI CTCAE version 4).

          -  Prior radiation therapy for bladder cancer

             ribonucleic acid (RNA) or hepatitis C antibody (HCV antibody) indicating acute or
             chronic infection.

          -  Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known
             acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

          -  Evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis.

          -  Solid organ or allogeneic stem cell transplant
