Korábbi kezelés

• Previous pelvic irradiation
• Previous intravenous chemotherapy for bladder cancer
• Prior CTLA-4 or PD-(L)1 -targeting immunotherapy.
• Use of other investigational drugs four weeks before study drug administration
• Malignancy, other than urothelial cancer, in the previous 2 years, with a high chance of recurrence (estimated >10%). Patients with low risk prostate cancer (defined as Stage T1/T2a, Gleason score ≤ 6, and PSA ≤ 10 ng/mL) who are treatment-naive and undergoing active surveillance are eligible.
• Major pelvic surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to enrolment or anticipation of need for a major surgical procedure during the course of the study other than for diagnosis.
• Severe infections within 2 weeks prior to enrolment in the study including but not limited to hospitalization for complications of infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia.

Más betegség

• Upper tract urothelial cancer
• Subjects with active autoimmune disease in the past 2 years. Patients with diabetes mellitus, properly controlled hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, vitiligo, psoriasis or other mild skin disease can still be included.
• Documented history of severe autoimmune disease (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease, myasthenia gravis).
• Known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus, active tuberculosis, or other active infection requiring therapy at the time of inclusion.
• Positive tests for Hepatitis B surface antigen or Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA)
• Underlying medical conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, will make the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the interpretation of adverse events
• Medical condition requiring the use of immunosuppressive medications, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication) will be allowed.
