  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria:

  • PRE-REGISTRATION: Histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.

  • Cisplatin-ineligible (or cisplatin-declining) patients with a pT2N0 urothelial cancer on cystectomy 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.

Additional Exclusion Criteria:
  • Evidence of lymph node involvement or metastatic disease on CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. To be considered positive, a lymph node must measure >15 mm in short axis.
  • Clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular disease: symptomatic congestive heart failure (≥ New York Heart Association Classification Class II), unstable angina pectoris, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, or CVA/stroke/MI (< 6 months prior to enrollment)

  • Patients with known history of testing positive for HIV or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Active autoimmune disease that might deteriorate when receiving an immuno-stimulatory agent. Patients with diabetes type I, vitiligo, psoriasis, or hypo- or hyperthyroid diseases not requiring immunosuppressive treatment are eligible.
  • Active infection requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy
  • Vaccination within 4 weeks of the first dose of avelumab and while on trial is prohibited except for administration of inactivated vaccines

  • Prior organ transplantation including allogenic stem-cell transplantation
  • Patient is unwilling to stop (or wishes to start) taking herbal and natural remedies that may have immune-modulating effects during the study period
  • Persisting toxicity related to prior therapy (NCI CTCAE v. 4.03 Grade > 1); however, alopecia, sensory neuropathy Grade ≤ 2, or other Grade ≤ 2 not constituting a safety risk based on investigator's judgment are acceptable
  • Other severe acute or chronic medical conditions including immune colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, immune pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis or psychiatric conditions including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior; or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study treatment administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study.
