In order to be eligible for participation in this trial, the subject must:
1. Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial. The subject may also provide consent/assent for Future Biomedical Research. However, the subject may participate in the main trial without participating in Future Biomedical Research.
2. Be =18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
3. Have histologically or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of advanced/unresectable (inoperable) or metastatic urothelial cancer of the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, or urethra. Both transitional cell and mixed transitional/non-transitional cell histologies are allowed. Subjects with non-urothelial cancer of the urinary tract are not allowed.
4. Be considered cisplatin-ineligible to receive cisplatin-based combination therapy, based on having at least one of the following criteria:
a. ECOG performance status of 2 (the proportion of ECOG 2 subjects will be limited to approximately 50% of the total population)
b. Creatinine clearance (calculated or measured) < 60 mL/min but >30 mL/min
Note: Subjects with a creatinine clearance (calculated or measured) < 30 mL/min or on dialysis are excluded from the trial.
c. CTCAE v.4, Grade >2 audiometric hearing loss (25dB in two consecutive wave ranges)
d. CTCAE v.4, Grade >2 peripheral neuropathy
e. NYHA Class III heart failure (Appendix 12.6)
Note: In the event that subjects are enrolled for the purposes of determining the biomarker cut-point prior to the start of the main body of this study, these subjects are not required to be cisplatin-ineligible and the above criteria does not apply. However, such subjects are required to have bladder cancer which is refractory to available therapy or for which no effective standard therapy exists.
5. Have received no prior systemic chemotherapy for advanced/unresectable (inoperable) or metastatic urothelial cancer
a. Adjuvant platinum based chemotherapy, following radial cystectomy, with recurrence > 12 months from completion of therapy is permitted
b.Neoadjuvant platinum based chemotherapy, with recurrence > 12 months since completion of therapy is permitted.
6.Have provided tissue for biomarker analysis from a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated (mandatory). Adequacy of the biopsy specimen for PD-L1 biomarker analysis must be confirmed by the central laboratory.
7.Have measureable disease based on RECIST 1.1 as determined by central review. Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measureable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
8. Have a performance status of 0, 1 or 2 on the ECOG Performance Scale, as assessed within 10 days prior to treatment initiation.
9. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in Table 1. All screening labs should be performed within 10 days of treatment initiation.
10. Female subject of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
11. Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study medication (Reference Section 5.7.2). Subjects of c
The subject must be excluded from participating in the trial if the subject:
1. Has disease that is suitable for local therapy administered with curative intent.
2. Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of treatment.
3. Has had a prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) for direct anti-neoplastic treatment within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., = Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
4. Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., = Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent.
Note: Subjects with neuropathy or = Grade 2 alopecia are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study.
Note: If subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.
5. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer. A history of prostate cancer that was identified incidentally following cystoprostatectomy for bladder cancer is acceptable, provided that the following criteria are met: stage T2N0M0 or lower; and Gleason score = 6, and undetectable PSA.
6. Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable [without evidence of progression by imaging (confirmed by CT scan if CT used at prior imaging, or confirmed by MRI if MRI was used at prior imaging) for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline], have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability.
7. Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
8. Has evidence of interstitial lung disease or active non-infectious pneumonitis.
9. Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
10. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject’s participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
11. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
12. Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the screening visit
