Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: June 5, 2018)

Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: 24 months ]

Estimate the objective response rate (RECIST 1.1) with tremelimumab in subjects with metastatic urothelial cancer previously treated with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. The objective response rate is the proportion of all subjects with confirmed PR or CR according to RECIST, from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence

• Original Primary Outcome Measures: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: June 5, 2018)

• Assess adverse events [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  Assess adverse events according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.03
• Disease Control Rate [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  Describe the disease control rate (objective response + stable disease as determined by RECIST 1.1)
• Duration of Response [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  Duration of response will be the time from the first documentation of response to the time of progression
• Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  Progression-free survival which is defined as the time from treatment initiation to death or progression, depending on which occurs first
• Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  Overall survival is defined as the time from treatment initiation to death

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information prior to registration. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.
• ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 within 14 days prior to registration.

Locally advanced (T4b, any N; or any T, N 2−3) or metastatic disease (M1, Stage IV) (also termed TCC or UCC of the urinary tract; including renal pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra) Subjects with mixed histologies are eligible provided that the predominant component is urothelial cancer. Locally advanced bladder cancer must be inoperable on the basis of involvement of pelvic sidewall or adjacent viscera (clinical Stage T4b) or bulky nodal metastasis (N2−N3).
• Representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens in paraffin blocks (blocks preferred) or at least 15 unstained slides. If archival tissue is not available and the subject is undergoing a standard of care biopsy, tissue from the biopsy is required to be submitted for correlative analyses. Subjects without adequate baseline tumor tissue may be considered for enrollment on a case by case basis after discussion with the sponsor-investigator.
• Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 within 28 days prior to registration. At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes, which must have short axis ≥15 mm) with computed tomography (CT) (preferred) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, preferably with IV contrast, and that is suitable for accurate repeated measurements as per RECIST 1.1 guidelines; lesions in a previously irradiated field can be used as a measurable disease provided that there has been demonstrated progression in the lesion.
• A subject with prior brain metastasis may be considered if they have completed their treatment for brain metastasis at least 4 weeks prior to study registration, have been off of corticosteroids for ≥ 2 weeks, and are asymptomatic

• Subjects must have progressed despite prior treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy. In addition, subjects must meet the following criteria:

  • Subjects must not have progressed within 2 months of starting prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy.
  • Subjects must have received at least 1 line of prior systemic therapy
  • Must not have experienced a toxicity that led to permanent discontinuation of prior immunotherapy.
  • All AEs while receiving prior immunotherapy must have completely resolved or resolved to baseline prior to screening for this study with the exception of endocrine related AEs that are stable on replacement therapy (e.g., steroids, thyroid hormone) which may be considered eligible but must be discussed with the sponsor-investigator.
  • Must not have experienced a ≥ Grade 3 immune related AE or an immune related neurologic (neuro-muscular) or ocular AE of any grade while receiving prior immunotherapy. NOTE: Subjects with endocrine AE of ≤ Grade 2 are permitted to enroll if they are stably maintained on appropriate replacement therapy and are asymptomatic. Must not have required the use of additional immunosuppression other than corticosteroids for the management of an AE, not have experienced recurrence of an AE if re-challenged, and not currently require maintenance doses of > 10 mg prednisone or equivalent per day.
  • Patients with Gr 3 AST/ALT elevation < 8 fold that resolved with steroids without additional immunosuppression can be included (Patients who experienced Hy's law on PD-1/L1 therapy will be excluded)
• Prior cancer treatment must be completed at least 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to first dose of study drug. Subjects must have recovered from all reversible acute toxic effects of the regimen (other than alopecia) to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline.
