Study Summary

This is a multi-center Phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of nivolumab when given in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) prior to standard of care radical cystectomy. Patients will receive neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab in combination with gemcitabine-cisplatin (GC) every 3 weeks for 4 treatment cycles over 12 weeks followed by standard of care radical cystectomy.

Primary Outcome

Incidence of Measurable Disease "pT" in the TNM staging system refers to the size and extend of the primary tumor. The higher the number after the T, the larger the tumor or the more it has grown into nearby tissues. T's may be further divided to provide more detail, such as T3a and T3b. pTa refers to noninvasive papillary carcinoma. pTis refers to carcinoma in situ (CIS) or a "flat tumor" stage. pN refers to lymph nodes. N0 mans cancer has not spread to nearby lymph nodes.
