A Study of Nivolumab Plus Bempegaldesleukin (Bempeg/NKTR-214) vs Nivolumab Alone vs Standard of Care in Participants With Bladder Cancer That Has Invaded the Muscle Wall of the Bladder and Who Cannot Get Cisplatin, a Type of Medicine Given to Treat Bladder Cancer.

NCT04209114

Description:

The purpose of the study is to see if treatment with nivolumab plus bempeg or nivolumab alone, before and after surgery to remove the bladder, is more effective than surgery alone in participants with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who are not able to receive cisplatin chemotherapy.

              -  MIBC, clinical stage T2-T4a, N0, M0, diagnosed at transurethral resection of bladder
                 tumor (TURBT) and confirmed by radiographic imaging.
    
              -  Must be deemed eligible for Radical Cystectomy (RC) by urologist, and must agree to
                 undergo RC. For arms A and B, participants must agree to undergo RC after completion
                 of neoadjuvant therapy.
    
              -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
    
              -  Cisplatin-ineligible participants will be defined by any one of the following
                 criteria:
    
                 i) Impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] ≥ 30 but < 60 mL/min) ii)
                 GFR should be assessed by direct measurement (ie, creatinine clearance) or, if not
                 available, by calculation from serum/plasma creatinine (Cockcroft-Gault formula) iii)
                 Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5, ≥ Grade 2 hearing
                 loss (assessed per local SOC).
