Co-PI Albert Chang relocating to UCLA. IND will transfer to UCLA. UCSF will not participate.

This is a multi-site, randomized, prospective, open-label phase II study. Patients in this study will have localized (cT3-cT4), or metastatic bladder cancer with a symptomatic, intact primary bladder tumor. In this study, patients will undergo stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to the bladder tumor and will receive durvalumab with or without tremelimumab.

The study will commence with a safety lead-in phase at UCSF in which 6 patients are accrued to Regimen A1 (RT + durvalumab). If this is not tolerated then an alternative Regimen A2, containing a lower total radiation dose will accrue 6 patients. If either A1 or A2 is tolerated then patients will be accrued to Regimen B1 (durvalumab, tremelimumab x 2 doses, and RT dose determined from Regimen A) following a 3+3 design for safety. If Regimen B1 is not tolerated an alternative Regimen B2 (durvalumab, tremelimumab x 1 dose, and RT dose determined from regimen A) will accrue following a 3+3 design for safety.

After the safety lead-in for each group is completed, an expansion cohort will accrue patients. In this expansion cohort, patients will be randomized 1:1 to be treated with either regimen A or regimen B dose selected from the safety lead-in stratified by patient population (localized patients and metastatic patients).

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Written informed consent obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations

2. Locally advanced (cT3 or cT4) or metastatic (N+ or M+) urothelial bladder cancer. Mixed histologies with predominant urothelial pattern are allowed

3. If metastatic disease present patients must have an intact, symptomatic bladder tumor, appropriate for palliative RT to the bladder.

4. Measurable metastatic disease according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. Thus, patients with metastatic disease must have at least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as at least 10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have a short axis greater than or equal to 15 mm) with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and that is suitable for accurate repeated measurement as per RECIST v1.1 guidelines.

5. Age greater than or equal to 18 years at time of study entry

6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.

7. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

8. Patients with non-metastatic bladder cancer must be ineligible for cystectomy in the opinion of the treating investigator.

9. Patients must be ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The reason for cisplatin ineligibility must be documented. Cisplatin ineligibility is defined as meeting 1 of the following criteria:

10. Subjects must consent to provide an archived tumor specimen from within 12 months prior to study entry (ie, from subject signing consent to participate in the study) for immunologic characterization. If not available, subjects should have at least 1 lesion amenable to biopsy and consent to provide a pre-treatment fresh biopsy. Tumor lesions used for biopsy should not be lesions used as target lesions. Additional archival tissue from beyond 12 months prior to study entry is also requested, if available, to support exploratory analyses.

    • Serum bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). [This will not apply to subjects with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician].
    • AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be less than or equal to 5x ULN.
    • Serum creatinine CL greater than 30 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance. Serum creatine measurement is the preferred measurement for determining creatinine clearance.

    Males:

    Creatinine CL (mL/min) = [Weight (kg) x (140 - Age)] / [72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)]

    Females:

    Creatinine CL (mL/min) = 0.85 x [Weight (kg) x (140 - Age)] / [72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)]

Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:

    • Women less than 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
