Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion: * Patient resectable muscle-invasive bladder cancer with clinical stage T2-T4aN0/1M0 with transitional and mixed transitional cell histology * Patients must be planning to undergo a radical cystectomy * Patients who have not received prior systemic chemotherapy or immunotherapy for treatment of MIBC * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 * Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks at randomization Exclusion: * Evidence of lymph node (N2-N3) or metastatic (M1) disease at time of screening. * Prior pelvic radiotherapy treatment within 2 years of randomization to study * Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy (with exclusion of Bacillus-Calmette Guerin \[BCG\]), including but not limited to other anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 antibodies. * Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of investigational product (IP). The following are exceptions to this criterion: Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (eg, intra articular injection); Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent; Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (eg, CT scan premedication) * Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of IP. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness * Active infection including Tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and Human Immunodeficiency

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    pCR rate is defined as the proportion of patients whose pathological staging was T0N0M0 as assessed per central pathology review using specimens obtained via radical cystectomy following the neoadjuvant treatment. The denominator for pCR will be the number of patients in the FAS.
    measure
    Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rates at Time of Cystectomy
    time Frame
    Up to 6 months
  2. description
    EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first recurrence of disease post radical cystectomy, time of first documented progression in patients who were medically precluded for radical cystectomy, or time of expected surgery in patients who refuse to undergo a radical cystectomy or failure to undergo a radical cystectomy in participants with residual disease, or the time of death due to any cause, whichever occurs first
    measure
    Event-free Survival (EFS) Per Central Review Defined as Time From Randomization to Event
    time Frame
    Up to 48 months
secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    EFS24 is defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of EFS at 24 months after randomization, as assessed per blinded independent central review or by central pathology review if a biopsy is required for a suspected new lesion, and per local investigator or local biopsy review if a biopsy is required for a suspected new lesion
    measure
    Event-free Survival at 24 Months (EFS24) Per Central Review Defined as Time From Randomization to Event
    time Frame
    Up to 24 months
  2. description
    The proportion of patients who undergo cystectomy is defined as the proportion patients who undergo radical cystectomy after the neoadjuvant treatment. The denominator will be patients in the FAS.
    measure
    Proportion of Patients Who Undergo Cystectomy
    time Frame
    Up to 6 months
  3. description
    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause regardless of whether the patient withdraws from randomized therapy or receives another anti-cancer therapy (i.e., date of death or censoring - date of randomization + 1)
    measure
    Overall Survival
    time Frame
    Up to 65 months
  4. description
    MFS is defined as the time from date of randomization until the first recognition of distant metastases or death, whichever occurs first
    measure
    Metastasis-free Survival Per Investigator Assessment or Local Biopsy Review.
    time Frame
    Up to 48 months

    DSS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to bladder cancer
    measure
    Disease-specific Survival Per Investigator Assessment or Local Biopsy Review.
    time Frame
    Up to 48 months
  6. description
    Whole blood samples for assessing ADA for durvalumab in serum were collected from patients undergoing durvalumab treatment, following the specified assessment schedule. ADA prevalence is the proportion of patients with a positive ADA result at any time, baseline or post-baseline. Treatment-emergent ADA includes both treatment-induced and treatment-boosted ADA. Its incidence is the proportion of patients with treatment-emergent ADA positivity. Treatment-boosted ADA refers to a baseline-positive ADA titer that increased ≥4-fold during the study. Persistently positive patients have at least two post-baseline ADA-positive readings, with at least 16 weeks between the first and last, or an ADA-positive result at the final assessment. This includes baseline-positive patients meeting these criteria. Transiently positive is defined by at least one post-baseline ADA-positive reading without being persistently positive, including baseline-positive patients meeting these terms.
    measure
    Immunogenicity of Durvalumab When Used in Combination With Gemcitabine/Cisplatin as Measured by Presence of Antidrug Antibodies (ADA)
    time Frame
    Up to 12 months
