Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of TAR-200 in combination with cetrelimab and cetrelimab alone.

Detailed Description

      Bladder cancer is the tenth most common malignancy worldwide. Approximately 25 percent (%) of
      all new bladder cancer participants present with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) at the
      time of diagnosis, and roughly 50% will ultimately develop distant metastases. The
      TAR-200/gemcitabine (JNJ-17000139-AAC) product is an intravesical drug delivery system
      regulated as an investigational drug. The drug constituent consists of gemcitabine
      minitablets and osmotic minitablets. Cetrelimab (JNJ-63723283) is a fully human
      immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) kappa monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds programmed-cell death
      protein (PD)-1. The standard of care in MIBC includes radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary
      diversion and is considered the preferred treatment option for participants who are
      considered surgical candidates. Study consists of a Screening phase, Treatment phase and
      follow-up phase. The total duration of study will be up to 2 years and 6 months. Efficacy,
      safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and biomarkers will be assessed at specific time points during
      this study.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically proven, cT2-T4a N0, M0 infiltrating urothelial carcinoma of the
             bladder. Initial diagnosis must have been within 90 days of randomization date.
             Participants with variant histologic subtypes (example squamous differentiation) are
             allowed if urothelial (transitional cell) differentiation is predominant (example,
             less than [<]20 percent [%] variant histologic subtype). However, the presence of any
             neuroendocrine, micropapillary, signet ring cell, plasmacytoid, or sarcomatoid
             features will make a participant ineligible

          -  Participants with an individual intravesical tumor size of less than or equal to <=3
             centimeter (cm) following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) are
             eligible. Participants with persistent multifocal tumors at screening must undergo a
             second debulking, re-staging TURBT to reduce the tumor burden. Participants will be
             ineligible if any individual tumor is greater than (>)3 cm

          -  Deemed eligible for and willing to undergo RC by the operating urologist

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

          -  Thyroid function tests within normal range or stable on hormone supplementation per
             investigator assessment

          -  All adverse events associated with any prior surgery must have resolved to common
             terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 5.0 Grade less than (<) 2
             prior to randomization

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Must not have received prior systemic chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy,
             or radiation therapy within 2 years prior to starting study treatment

          -  Participants must not have evidence of cT4b, or N1-3, or M1 disease based on local
             radiology staging (chest, abdomen, and pelvis must be performed using computed
             tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) within 42 days prior to
             randomization

          -  Presence of any bladder or urethral anatomic feature that, in the opinion of the
             Investigator, may prevent the safe placement, indwelling use, or removal of TAR-200

          -  Prior systemic chemotherapy for urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder at any time

          -  Currently participating or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and
             received study therapy or investigational device within 4 weeks prior to enrollment

          -  Participants with evidence of bladder perforation during diagnostic cystoscopy.
             Participant is eligible if perforation has resolved prior to dosing
      
Maximum Eligible Age:N/A

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Percentage of Participants with Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)
Time Frame:Up to Week 15
Safety Issue:
Description:Percentage of participants with a pathologic complete response (pCR) or no evidence of pathologic intravesical disease and nodal involvement (ypT0N0) derived from analysis of radical cystectomy (RC) bladder specimen will be reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Recurrence-Free Survival (RFS)
Time Frame:Up to Week 108
Safety Issue:
Description:RFS is defined as the time from randomization to first radiologic (as assessed by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors [RECIST] 1.1 criteria) or histologic evidence of nodal or metastatic disease or death due to any cause.
Measure:Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by Grades According to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Time Frame:Up to Week 108
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of participants with AEs by severity grade as assessed by CTCAE version 5 will be reported. Grade refers to the severity of AE as follows: Grade 1- Mild; Grade 2- Moderate; Grade 3- Severe; Grade 4- Life-threatening; Grade 5- Death related to adverse event.
Measure:Number of Participants with Change from Baseline in Laboratory Abnormalities
Time Frame:Up to Week 108
Safety Issue:
Description:Number of participants with change from baseline in laboratory abnormalities will be reported. Severity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Severity scale 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.
