Gemcitabine Versus Water Irrigation in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma
There is a high rate of intravesical (bladder) recurrence following extirpative surgery for
upper tract urothelial carcinoma. There is no single established standard of care for
prevention of intravesical recurrence; however, one protocol in common use involves the use
of intravesical gemcitabine instilled into the bladder during surgery and prior to entry into
the bladder. There are barriers to the use of gemcitabine, especially at lower volume
centers. Some evidence suggests that intravesical irrigation with sterile water has
equivalent efficacy to intravesical chemotherapy in prevention of recurrent bladder cancer
following transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT). This study is intended to
compare recurrence rates using intravesical gemcitabine (as a pseudo-standard of care) and
continuous bladder irrigation with sterile water.

In this study enfortumab vedotin will be put into the bladder using a catheter. A catheter is
a thin tube that can be put into your bladder.

Testing the Addition of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) to Chemotherapy Before Surgery for Patients With High-Grade Upper Urinary Tract Cancer
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding durvalumab to chemotherapy versus
chemotherapy alone before surgery in treating patients with upper urinary tract cancer.
Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune
system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and
spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and
gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the
cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Durvalumab in
combination with chemotherapy before surgery may enhance the shrinking of the tumor compared
to chemotherapy alone.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-Cancer Immunotherapy Drug, Avelumab, to Gemcitabine and Carboplatin Chemotherapy Prior to Surgery in Muscle Invasive Urinary Tract Cancer vs. Surgery Alone in Patients Who Are Not Able to Receive Cisplatin Therapy (SWOG GAP TRIAL)
This phase II trial studies the effect of avelumab, gemcitabine and carboplatin before
surgery compared with surgery alone in treating patients with muscle invasive bladder or
upper urinary tract cancer who are not able to receive cisplatin therapy. Immunotherapy with
monoclonal antibodies, such as avelumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer,
and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs,
such as gemcitabine and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor
cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. Giving avelumab together with gemcitabine and carboplatin before surgery may work
better in lowering the chance of muscle invasive urinary tract cancer growing or spreading,
in patients who cannot receive cisplatin therapy compared to surgery alone.

Bladder Carcinoma Infiltrating the Muscle of the Bladder Wall, Stage II Bladder Cancer AJCC v8, Urinary Bladder, Infiltrating Renal Pelvis and Ureter Urothelial Carcinoma
Chemoradiotherapy With or Without Atezolizumab in Treating Patients With Localized Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
This phase III trial studies how well chemotherapy and radiation therapy work with or without
atezolizumab in treating patients with localized muscle invasive bladder cancer. Radiation
therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such
as gemcitabine, cisplatin, fluorouracil and mitomycin-C, work in different ways to stop the
growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by
stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor
cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's
immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow
and spread. Giving atezolizumab with radiation therapy and chemotherapy may work better in
treating patients with localized muscle invasive bladder cancer compared to radiation therapy
and chemotherapy without atezolizumab.

receive a given RT modality (3DCRT vs. IMRT), the site must first submit pre-RT
planning documents within 3 days of Step 1 registration and receive approval from
Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) before randomizing the patient to Step 2.
If this will not be the first patient to receive a specific RT modality, the patient

partially resected tumors as long as the treating urologist attempted maximal

Testing the Effectiveness of Two Immunotherapy Drugs (Nivolumab and Ipilimumab) With One Anti-cancer Targeted Drug (Cabozantinib) for Rare Genitourinary Tumors
This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib works in combination with nivolumab and
ipilimumab in treating patients with rare genitourinary (GU) tumors that that has spread from
where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body. Cabozantinib may stop the
growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy
with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune
system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and
spread. Giving cabozantinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients
with genitourinary tumors that have no treatment options compared to giving cabozantinib,
nivolumab, or ipilimumab alone.
