Interventions

  • Nivolumab — DRUG
    Nivolumab 3 mg/kg or Nivolumab 1 mg/kg
  • Ipilimumab — DRUG
    Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg
  • Radical cystectomy — PROCEDURE
    RC-PLND is to take place within 60 days from the last dose of treatment.(After week 10 for cohort 1, after week 11 for cohort 2, and after week 9 for cohort 3.)

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to test if immunotherapy with nivolumab alone or in combination with ipilimumab is safe and does not delay the planned bladder cancer surgery. The investigators want to see if treatment with these drugs prior to surgery may decrease the size of the bladder cancer and thus could help make the surgery more successful.

Arms

  • Experimental: Cohort 1
    Nivolumab 3 mg/kg on day 1 of each cycle for a total of 5 cycles. Each cycle will be two weeks long and treatment will occur during weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8.
  • Experimental: Cohort 2
    Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg and Nivolumab 1 mg/kg on day 1 of each cycle, followed by Nivolumab 3 mg/kg on day 22 of each cycle for a total of 2 cycles. Each cycle will be six weeks long. Ipilimumab and Nivolumab will occur on weeks 0 and 6 while Nivolumab alone will occur on weeks 3 and 9.
  • Experimental: Cohort 3
    Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg on day 1 each cycle and Nivolumab 1 mg/kg on day 1 of each cycle for a total of 3 cycles. Each cycle will be three weeks long and treatment will occur during weeks 0, 3, and 6.
  • Experimental: Cohort U (UTUC patients) is independent from Cohorts 1 - 3. ( who are cisplatin-ineligible)
    Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg and Nivolumab 1 mg/kg on day 1, of each cycle, followed by Nivolumab 3 mg/kg on day 22 and Ipilimumab 3mg/kg and Nivolumab 1mg/kg on day 45.

Primary Outcome Measure

number of patients who proceed to radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection (RC-PLND) [ Time Frame: within 60 days after completion of neoadjuvant nivolumab or nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab for cisplatin-ineligible MIBC, without delays due to treatment-related toxicities or progressive disease ]
