Brief summary: This is a pre-surgical study involving subjects with muscle invasive bladder urothelial cancer, who are candidates for cisplatin ineligible neoadjuvant therapy. It is a one-arm phase II study in single center.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial.
* 18-75 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
* Have histologically confirmed muscle invasive disease of the urinary bladder.
* Histology must be urothelial carcinoma (transitional cell carcinoma) or urothelial carcinoma with mixed histology/features.
* Clinical stage II-IIIB and Have a surgical evaluation that documents the plan for multimodality therapy with a consolidative radical cystectomy.
* ECOG 0-1 and good organ function.
* cisplatin ineligible.

Exclusion Criteria:

* A non-surgical approach recommended by the treating urologist due to any reason.
* Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or using an investigational device within 28 days prior to study registration.
* Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or received systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to study registration.
* Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or required treatment ≤ 48 months of study registration. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in situ cervical cancer.
* Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
* Has an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment.
* Has known evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis.
* Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
* Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
* Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
* Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
* Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, antibody.
* Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
* Has known active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C.
