Summary:

      Background:

      Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer is in the early stages. But it usually comes back after
      treatment. The drugs Vicineum and Durvalumab may help the immune system find and destroy
      cancer cells.

      Objective:

      To test if the drugs Durvalumab and Vicineum together are safe and effective to treat people
      with bladder cancer that has not spread to the muscle in the bladder.

      Eligibility:

      People ages 18 and older who have bladder cancer that has not spread to the muscle in the
      bladder and was treated unsuccessfully with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin

      Design:

      Participants will be screened with:

      Medical history

      Physical exam

      Blood and urine tests

      Tumor sample from previous surgery. If one is not available, they will have a biopsy: A small
      piece of tumor is removed.

      Cystoscopy to examine the inside of the bladder. This may include a biopsy or removing
      tumors.

      Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): They lie in a machine that
      takes pictures of the body.

      Electrocardiogram to test heart function

      Participants will receive Durvalumab and Vicineum in 2 phases:

      First phase: Durvalumab every 4 weeks and Vicineum once a week for 3 months

      Second phase: Durvalumab every 4 weeks and Vicineum once every other week

      Participants will have tumor samples taken every 3 months. They will have blood and urine
      tests throughout the study.

      Participants will continue treatment for up to 2 years.

      Participants will have a visit about 30 days after their last treatment. This includes blood
      and urine tests. It may include a cytoscopy or additional biopsies.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        -  INCLUSION CRITERIA:

          -  Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed by National Cancer
             Institute (NCI) Laboratory of Pathology as high-grade non-muscle invasive urothelial

               -  High-grade Ta or T1 disease based on a biopsy/transurethral resection of bladder
                  tumor (TURBT) performed within 12 weeks of the initial dose of study treatment.
                  If multiple bladder biopsies/TURBTs are required to confirm eligibility, the
                  timing of the last bladder biopsy to the initial dose of study treatment must be
                  within 12 weeks.

               -  Patients with persistent T1 high grade disease on TURBT following a single
                  induction course of BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) (at least 5 of 6 doses) may
                  also be eligible for this trial provided that the patient is surgically unfit for
                  cystectomy as deemed by the investigator or the patient declines cystectomy.

          -  Subjects with BCG unresponsive disease as defined by the Society of Urologic Oncology
             and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA): Subjects must have received at least two
             courses of intravesical BCG (at least 5 of 6 induction doses of BCG and at least 2 of
             3 maintenance doses of BCG under a maintenance regimen or at least 2 doses of a repeat
             induction course). Please note exception above for persistent T1 disease. There is no
             upper limit on the amount of prior BCG a subject may have received.

             additional BCG treatment at the time of study entry.

          -  Age >= 18 years at time of signing the informed consent form (ICF). Because no dosing
             or adverse event data are currently available on the use of Vicineum in combination
             with durvalumab in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study,
             but will be eligible for future pediatric trials. Furthermore, non-muscle invasive
             bladder cancer (NMIBC) does not occur in children.

             contraception and a second form of contraception while receiving study treatment and
             for 4 months following their last dose of study treatment. Should a woman become
             pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this
             study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

             exclusion criterion for treatment unless they are grade 3 or higher.

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because it is unknown whether Vicineum
             and/or durvalumab have any teratogenic effects. In nursing mothers, breastfeeding

             weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin C) other than a single dose of intravesical

             study treatment.

          -  The subject has a diagnosis of another malignancy within 2 years before the first dose
             of study treatment, except for superficial skin cancer, localized prostate cancer on

             antibodies). Patients with HIV are excluded from participating on this clinical trial
             because their immunodeficiency would confound the evaluation of adverse events which
             would hinder meeting the primary objective. Subjects with a past or resolved HBV
