- Disease Free Survival (DFS) [ Time Frame: approximately up to 48 months ]The time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented recurrence (local urothelial tract, local non-urothelial tract or distant), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Disease Free Survival (DFS) in PD-L1 Expression ≥ 1% Population [ Time Frame: approximately up to 48 months ]The time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented recurrence (local urothelial tract, local non-urothelial tract or distant), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Non-Urothelial Tract Recurrence Free Survival [ Time Frame: up to 53 months ]The time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented recurrence (local non-urothelial tract or distant), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Non-Urothelial Tract Recurrence Free Survival in PD-L1 Expression ≥ 1% Population [ Time Frame: up to 53 months ]The time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented recurrence (local non-urothelial tract or distant), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: on going ]the time from randomization to the date of death from any cause.
- Overall Survival in Participants With PD-L1 Expression ≥ 1% [ Time Frame: on going ]the time from randomization to the date of death from any cause.
