PRE-REGISTRATION: Histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the urethra, bladder, ureter or renal pelvis

PRE-REGISTRATION: Variant histology, including neuroendocrine differentiation, sarcomatoid, micropapillary, glandular, trophoblastic, Mullerian, is allowed if urothelial cancer is predominant histology (any amount of squamous differentiation is allowed provided the tumor is not a pure squamous cell cancer)

PRE-REGISTRATION: Patient must have had radical surgery (i.e., cystectomy and lymph node dissection or nephroureterectomy or ureterectomy) ≥ 3 weeks, but ≤ 12 weeks prior to pre-registration. Patients who have had a partial cystectomy as definitive therapy are not eligible

PRE-REGISTRATION: No gross cancer at the surgical margins. Microscopic invasive urothelial carcinoma at the surgical margins (i.e., "positive margins") are allowed. Carcinoma in situ (CIS) at margins is considered negative margins

PRE-REGISTRATION: No evidence of residual cancer or metastasis after radical cystectomy or nephroureterectomy or ureterectomy (imaging is not required prior to pre-registration but is required prior to registration)

PRE-REGISTRATION: Have undergone a radical cystectomy nephroureterectomy, or ureterectomy with pathological evidence of urothelial carcinoma at high risk of recurrence as described in one of the two scenarios below (i or ii). The 7th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging will be utilized.:

• (i) Patients who have not received neoadjuvant systemic therapy: pT3-pT4* or pT0/x-pT4/N+ on radical surgery (i.e., cystectomy, nephroureterectomy, or ureterectomy) and are not eligible for adjuvant cisplatin chemotherapy

  • (i) Patients ineligible for cisplatin due to at least one of the following criteria and reason for ineligibility should be documented:

    • (i) Creatinine Clearance (using Cockcroft-Gault): < 60 mL/min
    • (i) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5, grade >= 2 audiometric hearing loss
    • (i) CTCAE version 5, grade >= 2 or above peripheral neuropathy
    • New York Heart Association Class III heart failure
    • (i) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = 2

  • (i) Patients who are eligible for cisplatin may be candidates if they refuse adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy, despite being informed by the investigator about the treatment options. The patient's refusal must be documented.

    • (i) Patients with pT2N0 urothelial cancer on radical surgery specimen (without prior neoadjuvant systemic therapy) with ctDNA(+) Signatera results based on an assay performed post-radical surgery as part of routine care outside of the study may proceed with pre-registration but require confirmation of ctDNA(+) Signatera testing on repeat "central testing" in the context of A032103 testing. Patients with pT2N0 with central testing not confirming ctDNA(+) will not be eligible for A032103 (Note: this is distinct from patients with ypT2N0 who are eligible based on ii).

• (ii) Patients who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy: ypT2-T4a and/or ypN+ on radical surgery (i.e., cystectomy. , nephroureterectomy, or ureterectomy) pathology specimen. Neoadjuvant systemic therapy may have included cisplatin-based chemotherapy, cisplatin-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, or enfortumab vedotin plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockade

PRE-REGISTRATION: Available tumor tissue for central Signatera testing to be submitted at pre-registration. Central testing is defined as testing performed as part of the A032103 study prior to registration and is provided by the study and not routine standard commercial testing. Patients who have already had local Signatera testing performed as part of routine care will require repeat central testing as part of the A032103 study to be eligible for registration/randomization. Tumor tissue from the radical surgery specimen is preferred over tissue from prior diagnostic biopsy specimen (e.g., transurethral resection of bladder tumor specimen)

PRE-REGISTRATION: Age >= 18 years

PRE-REGISTRATION: Not currently requiring hemodialysis

PRE-REGISTRATION: No current or prior history of myocarditis

PRE-REGISTRATION: No grade ≥ 3 immune related adverse event with prior PD-1/PD-L1 blockade

PRE-REGISTRATION: No active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease that might recur, which may affect vital organ function or require immune suppressive treatment including systemic corticosteroids. These include but are not limited to patients with a history of immune related neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune (demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis; systemic autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis; and patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), Stevens- Johnson syndrome, or phospholipid syndrome because of the risk of recurrence or exacerbation of disease.

PRE-REGISTRATION: Patients with vitiligo, endocrine deficiencies including type I diabetes mellitus, thyroiditis managed with replacement hormones including physiologic corticosteroids are eligible.

PRE-REGISTRATION: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other arthropathies, Sjögren's syndrome and psoriasis controlled with topical medication and patients with positive serology, such as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-thyroid antibodies should be evaluated for the presence of target organ involvement and potential need for systemic treatment but should otherwise be eligible.

PRE-REGISTRATION: No current pneumonitis or prior history of non-infectious pneumonitis that required steroids within the previous 5 years.

PRE-REGISTRATION: No known active hepatitis B (e.g., hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] reactive) or hepatitis C (e.g., hepatitis C virus [HCV] ribonucleic acid [RNA] [qualitative] is detected).

PRE-REGISTRATION: For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.

PRE-REGISTRATION: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible.

PRE-REGISTRATION: No concurrent antineoplastic therapy.

Inhaled or topical steroids and adrenal replacement doses < 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.

REGISTRATION: Patient must have had radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection or nephroureterectomy or ureterectomy =< 18 weeks prior to registration.

REGISTRATION: Must have evaluable ctDNA Signatera assay result (i.e., ctDNA[+]or ctDNA[-]) based on test performed as part of central testing at pre-registration to A032103. Central testing is defined as testing performed as part of the A032103. Local/commercial testing results may not be used for registration to A032103

• Cisplatin-ineligible (or cisplatin-declining) patients with a pT2N0 urothelial cancer on cystectomy or nephroureterectomy or ureterectomy who were pre-registered based on routine standard care ctDNA(+) Signatera testing must have confirmed ctDNA(+) Signatera testing on central testing. If central Signatera testing yields a ctDNA(-) result, these patients are ineligible. NOTE: This is a distinct consideration from patients with ypT2-4 and/or ypN+ urothelial cancer (i.e., patients who had received neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy) who are eligible with either ctDNA(+) or ctDNA(-) central Signatera testing

REGISTRATION: All patients must have confirmed disease-free status defined as no measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, or definitive non-measurable radiographic metastatic disease, within 60 days prior to registration. Patients with equivocal nodes less than 15 mm in short axis, or < 10 mm in long axis for non-lymph node lesions, not considered by the investigator to represent malignant disease will be eligible. Attempts should be made to resolve the etiology of equivocal lesions with complementary imaging (e.g., PET scan) or biopsy.
