Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall complete response (CR) rate in participants treated with TAR-200 in combination with cetrelimab (Cohort 1), or TAR-200 alone (Cohort 2), or cetrelimab alone (Cohort 3) with Carcinoma in Situ (CIS), with or without concomitant high-grade Ta or T1 papillary disease.

Detailed Description

      Bladder cancer is the tenth most common type of cancer worldwide. The natural history of
      high-risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (HR-NMIBC) is unpredictable; rates of recurrence
      vary from 15 percent (%) to 78%, and rates of progression to muscle invasion and metastasis
      vary from less than (<) 1 to 45%. The TAR-200/gemcitabine (JNJ-17000139-AAC) intravesical
      delivery system (hereafter, TAR-200) is an investigational product that is comprised of a
      drug and device components. Cetrelimab (JNJ-63723283) is a fully human immunoglobulin G4
      (IgG4) kappa monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds PD-1. This study consists 3 periods:
      screening phase (up to 42 days); treatment phase (up to 2 years); follow up phase (up to 5
      years). Total duration of study is up to 5 years. Efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK),
      and biomarkers will be assessed at specified time points during this study.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically confirmed diagnosis of persistent or recurrent high-risk, Non-muscle
             Invasive Bladder Cancer (HR-NMIBC) (carcinoma in situ [CIS]; Tumour in situ [Tis]),
             with or without papillary disease (T1, high-grade Ta) within 12 months of completion
             (last dose) of adequate Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy. Mixed histology
             tumours are allowed if urothelial differentiation (transitional cell histology) is
             predominant (example, less than (<) 20 percent (%) variant histologic subtype).
             However, the presence of neuroendocrine, micropapillary, signet ring cell,
             plasmacytoid, or sarcomatoid features will make a participant ineligible. For
             participants with lamina propria invasion (T1) on the screening biopsy/ transurethral
             resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), muscularis propria must be present in order to
             rule out Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC)

          -  Visible papillary disease must be fully resected (absent) prior to randomization
             (residual CIS acceptable) and documented at screening cystoscopy

          -  Participants must be ineligible for or have elected not to undergo radical cystectomy

          -  BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC after treatment with adequate BCG therapy defined as
             a minimum of 5 of 6 doses of an induction course (adequate induction) plus 2 of 3
             doses of a maintenance course, or 2 of 6 doses of a second induction course

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status Grade 0, 1, or 2

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically confirmed, muscle-invasive, locally advanced, nonresectable, or
             metastatic urothelial carcinoma (that is, T2, T3, T4, and/or Stage IV

          -  Must not have had urothelial carcinoma or histological variant at any site outside of
             the urinary bladder. Ta/T1/CIS of the upper urinary tract (including renal pelvis and
             ureter) is allowable if treated with complete nephrouretrectomy more than 24 months
             prior to initiating study

          -  Participants with an active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Participants with
             autoimmune disorders not requiring systemic treatment (example, skin conditions such
             as vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia) or conditions requiring hormonal replacement
             therapies such as type 1 diabetes mellitus or hypothyroidism are permitted to enroll

          -  Active hepatitis B or C infection (for example, participants with history of hepatitis
             C infection but undetectable hepatitis C virus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test
             and participants with history of hepatitis B infection with positive hepatitis B
             surface antigen (HBsAg) antibody and undetectable PCR are allowed)

          -  Prior therapy with an anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), anti-PD-ligand 2 (L2)
             agent, or with an agent directed to another co-inhibitory T-cell receptor
      
Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall Clinical Response (CR) Rate
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Overall CR rate is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a CR at any time post-treatment. It will be measured by determining the percentage of participants without presence of high-grade disease using results from cystoscopy and centrally read urine cytology at any time point.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Duration of Response (DOR)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:DOR is defined from the date of first CR achieved to the date of first evidence of recurrence or progression or death (whichever is earlier) for participants who achieve a CR.
Measure:Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:OS, defined as the time from randomization to death; if a participant has not died at the time of analysis, the participant will be censored at the date last known alive.
Measure:Cohort 1 and 2: Concentrations of Gemcitabine and 2',2' difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU) in Urine and Plasma
Time Frame:Up to Week 21
Safety Issue:
Description:Concentrations of gemcitabine and its metabolite dFdU in urine and plasma will be assessed.
Measure:Cohort 1 and 3: Serum Concentration of Anti-cetrelimab Antibodies
Time Frame:Predose, up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Serum concentration of anti-cetrelimab antibodies will be assessed using a validated immunoassay for anti-drug antibody (ADA) analysis.
Measure:Number of Participants with Anti-cetrelimab Antibodies
Time Frame:Predose, up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of participants with anti-cetrelimab antibodies will be reported.
Measure:Change from Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) -C30 Scores
Time Frame:Baseline, up to 3 years and 4 months
Safety Issue:
Description:EORTC QLQ-C30 is a core 30-item questionnaire for evaluating the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of participants participating in cancer clinical studies. It incorporates 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea or vomiting), and a global health status or HRQoL scale. Ratings for each item range from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much).
Measure:Change from Baseline in EORTC QLQ- Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) 24 Scores
Time Frame:Baseline, up to 3 years and 4 months
Safety Issue:
Description:EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24 is a 24-item questionnaire for evaluating the HRQoL of participants with superficial (non-muscle-invasive) bladder cancer. The questionnaire is designed to supplement the QLQ-C30 and incorporates 6 multi-item scales and 5 single items. Ratings for each item range from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much).
Measure:Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity Grades
Time Frame:Up to 5 years
Safety Issue:
Description:An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Severity grades ranges from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.
