Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder, clinical stage T2-T4aN0, M0 or T1-T4aN1, M0,
diagnosed at transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT)

- 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).

iv) CTCAE version 5, = Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy.

- Documented Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) more than 45%
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Clinical evidence of = N2 or metastatic bladder cancer

- Prior systemic therapy, radiation therapy, or surgery for bladder cancer other than
TURBT or biopsies is not permitted. Prior Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) or other
intravesicular treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is permitted if
completed at least 6 weeks prior to initiating study treatment.

- Evidence of urothelial carcinoma (UC) in upper urinary tracts (ureters or renal
pelvis) or history of previous MIBC

- History of pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or prior clinically
significant venous or non-CVA(cerebrovascular accident)/TIA (Transient ischemic
attack) arterial thromboembolic event

- Known cardiovascular history, including unstable or deteriorating cardiac disease
within the previous 12 months (including unstable angina or myocardial infarction,
congestive heart failure or uncontrolled clinically significant arrhythmias)

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