  2. participation in another clinical trial with therapeutic intent within 28 days prior to enrolment;
  3. suffering from malignancies other than urothelial carcinoma within 5 years prior to study enrolment;
  4. conditions that contraindicate chemotherapy, such as renal impairment with creatinine clearance rate (CCr) <50 mL/min, hearing impairment, and inadequate marrow function;
  5. anaphylactic or hypersensitivity reactions or other contraindication to cisplatin and gemcitabine;
  6. active or uncontrolled infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or tuberculosis;
