- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]Additional analysis beyond the primary endpoint
- Overall Survival at 24 months (OS24) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]The OS24 will be defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of OS at 24 months
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]PFS (per RECIST 1.1) will be defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of first objective disease progression or death
- Alive and Progression Free Survival at 12 months (APF12) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The APF12 will be defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of PFS (per RECIST 1.1) at 12 months
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]ORR (per RECIST 1.1) is defined as the number (%) of patients with at least 1 visit response of complete response or partial response and will be based on a subset of all randomized patients
- Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]DoR (per RECIST 1.1) will be defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the first date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with the best overall response of complete response, partial response or stable disease per RECIST 1.1
- Time from randomization to second (PFS2) [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]PFS2 will be defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest of the progression events subsequent to that used for the PFS endpoint or death
- To assess disease-related symptoms, physical functioning, and other Health-related quality of life [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]Collection of patient reported outcome questionnaires
- To assess safety using a summary of adverse events. [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]Adverse Events (both in terms of MedDRA preferred terms and CTCAE grade) will be listed individually by patient. The number of patients experiencing each Adverse Event will be summarized by treatment arm and CTCAE grade
- To assess pharmacokinetics of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]Serum concentrations of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab
- To assess immunogenicity of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab [ Time Frame: approximately 5 years ]Presence of anti-drug antibodies for Durvalumab and Tremelimumab

Prior local intervesical chemotherapy or immunotherapy is allowed if completed at least 28 days prior to the initiation of study treatment.
- No severe concomitant condition that requires immunosuppression medication
- Untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
