Study Summary

This phase II trial studies the benefit of adding an immunotherapy drug called MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to standard chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating bladder cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes. Drugs used in standard chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with durvalumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy with the addition of durvalumab may work better in helping tumors respond to treatment compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy alone. Patients with limited regional lymph node involvement may benefit from attempt at bladder preservation, and use of immunotherapy and systemic chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome

Defined as CR in bladder and nodes with no distant metastases. This study is designed to detect an improvement in clinical CR rate from 37.5% on the chemoradiation (chemoRT) arm to 62.5% on the chemoRT + durvalumab arm. Patients who receive any chemoRT +/- durvalumab will be included in the interim and final analyses. Those who are unevaluable post chemoRT +/- durvalumab, such as those patients who drop out before completing treatment post randomization or drop out prior to evaluation of first r
