Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure

Event-Free Survival (EFS)

Measure Description

EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of following events: radiographic disease progression precluding RC + PLND, failure to undergo surgery in participants with residual disease, gross residual disease left behind at time of surgery, local or distant recurrence based on blinded independent central review (BICR) or death due to any cause.

Time Frame

Up to ~68 months

Primary Outcome Measures table for Clinical Trial
Secondary Outcome Measures:
Outcome Measure

Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate

Measure Description

pCR rate is defined as defined as the proportion of participants having pCR. pCR is defined as absence of viable tumor (pT0N0) in examined tissue from radical cystectomy (RC) + pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND), as assessed by blinded central pathologic review.

Time Frame

Up to ~47 months

Outcome Measure

Overall Survival (OS)

Measure Description

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Time Frame

Up to ~68 months

Outcome Measure

Disease Free Survival (DFS)

Measure Description

DFS is defined as the time from postsurgery baseline scan until the first occurrence of either local/distant recurrence as assessed by BICR imaging and/or biopsy or death from any cause.

Time Frame

From ~12 months to up to ~68 months

Outcome Measure

Outcome Measure

Number of Participants Who Experienced An Adverse Event (AE) (Arm A only)
