- Objective Response Rate (ORR) by BICR [ Time Frame: Up to 3.5 years ]ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a complete response or partial response as best overall response (BOR). BOR is determined per RECIST 1.1 as determined by BICR.
- Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) by Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Up to 3.5 years ]CBR is defined as the percentage of patients with advanced or metastatic cancer who have achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease for greater than or equal to 6 months to therapeutic intervention in a clinical study. CBR will be determined per RECIST v1.1 by investigator assessment.
- Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) by BICR [ Time Frame: Up to 3.5 years ]CBR is defined as the percentage of participants with advanced or metastatic cancer who have achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease for greater than or equal to 6 months to therapeutic intervention in a clinical study. CBR will be determined per RECIST v1.1 by BICR.

- European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) Score [ Time Frame: Up to 3.5 years ]The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess quality of life of cancer patients, it is composed of 30 questions (items) resulting in 5 functional scales, 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales, and 6 single items. Scoring of the QLQ-C30 is performed according to QLQ-C30 Scoring manual. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher score for the functioning scales and global health status denote a better level of functioning (i.e. a better state of the participant), while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms (i.e. a worse state of the participant).
- European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions 5 Levels Instrument (EuroQOL EQ-5D-5L) Score [ Time Frame: Up to 3.5 years ]
The EQ-5D-5L is a standard measure of health-related quality of life. The tool consists of the EQ-5D-5L descriptive part and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). The descriptive part comprises 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Each of these 5 dimensions has 5 levels (no problem, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems). Results for each of the 5 dimensions are combined into a 5-digit number to describe the participant's health state.
The EQ-VAS records the participant's health on a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with 0 indicating "the worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicating "the best health you can imagine." Higher scores of EQ VAS indicate better health.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
-
Individuals with histologically documented metastatic or locally advanced unresectable UC defined as
- Tumor (T) 4b, any node (N) or

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) score of 0 or 1.
-
Individuals with progression or recurrence following receipt of platinum-containing regimen and anti programmed cell death protein 1/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) therapy for metastatic or locally advanced unresectable disease will be enrolled.
- a. Individuals with recurrence or progression ≤12 months following completion of cisplatin-containing chemotherapy given in the neo-adjuvant/adjuvant setting may utilize that line of therapy to be eligible for the study. The 12-month period is counted from completion of surgical intervention or platinum therapy, respectively. These individuals must receive anti PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in the metastatic or locally advanced unresectable setting to be eligible.
- b. Individuals who received either carboplatin or anti PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in the neo- adjuvant/adjuvant setting will not be able to count that line of therapy towards eligibility for the study.
-
c. Cisplatin ineligible individuals who meet one of the below criteria and who were treated with carboplatin in the metastatic or locally advanced unresectable settings may count that line of therapy towards eligibility. They must then have received anti PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in metastatic or locally advanced unresectable setting to be eligible for the study.
