- Overall Complete Response (CR) Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Overall CR rate is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a CR at any time post-treatment. It will be measured by determining the percentage of participants without presence of high-grade disease using results from cystoscopy and centrally read urine cytology at any time point.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]DOR is defined from the date of first CR achieved to the date of first evidence of recurrence or progression or death (whichever is earlier) for participants who achieve a CR.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]OS, defined as the time from randomization to death; if a participant has not died at the time of analysis, the participant will be censored at the date last known alive.
- Cohort 1 and 2: Concentrations of Gemcitabine and 2',2' difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU) in Urine and Plasma [ Time Frame: Up to Week 21 ]Concentrations of gemcitabine and its metabolite dFdU in urine and plasma will be assessed.
- Cohort 1 and 3: Serum Concentration of Anti-cetrelimab Antibodies [ Time Frame: Predose, up to 3 years ]Serum concentration of anti-cetrelimab antibodies will be assessed using a validated immunoassay for anti-drug antibody (ADA) analysis.
- Number of Participants with Anti-cetrelimab Antibodies [ Time Frame: Predose, up to 3 years ]Number of participants with anti-cetrelimab antibodies will be reported.
- Change from Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ) -C30 Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline, up to 3 years and 4 months ]EORTC QLQ-C30 is a core 30-item questionnaire for evaluating the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of participants participating in cancer clinical studies. It incorporates 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea or vomiting), and a global health status or HRQoL scale. Ratings for each item range from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much).
- Change from Baseline in EORTC QLQ- Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) 24 Scores [ Time Frame: Baseline, up to 3 years and 4 months ]EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24 is a 24-item questionnaire for evaluating the HRQoL of participants with superficial (non-muscle-invasive) bladder cancer. The questionnaire is designed to supplement the QLQ-C30 and incorporates 6 multi-item scales and 5 single items. Ratings for each item range from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much).
- Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity Grades [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Severity grades ranges from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of persistent or recurrent (carcinoma in situ [CIS] or Tumour in situ [Tis]), with or without papillary disease (T1, high-grade Ta) within 12 months of completion of the last dose of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy, in participants who have received adequate BCG. Mixed histology tumors are allowed if urothelial differentiation (transitional cell histology) is predominant. However, the presence of neuroendocrine, micropapillary, signet ring cell, plasmacytoid, or sarcomatoid features will make a participant ineligible. For participants with lamina propria invasion (T1) on the screening biopsy/ transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), muscularis propria must be present in order to rule out Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC)
- All visible papillary disease must be fully resected (absent) prior to randomization (residual CIS acceptable) and documented in the electronic case report form (eCRF) at screening cystoscopy
- Participants must be ineligible for or have elected not to undergo radical cystectomy
- BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC after treatment with adequate BCG therapy defined as a minimum of 5 of 6 full doses of an induction course (adequate induction) plus 2 of 3 doses of a maintenance course, or at least 2 of 6 doses of a second induction course
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status Grade 0, 1, or 2
Exclusion Criteria:
- Presence or history of histologically confirmed, muscle-invasive, locally advanced, nonresectable, or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (that is, T2, T3, T4, and/or Stage IV)
- Must not have had urothelial carcinoma or histological variant at any site outside of the urinary bladder. Ta/T1/CIS of the upper urinary tract (including renal pelvis and ureter) is allowable if treated with complete nephroureterectomy more than 24 months prior to randomization
- Participants with an active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Participants with autoimmune disorders not requiring systemic treatment (example, skin conditions such as vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia) or conditions requiring hormonal replacement therapies such as type 1 diabetes mellitus or hypothyroidism are permitted to enroll
- Active hepatitis B or C infection (for example, participants with history of hepatitis C infection but undetectable hepatitis C virus polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and participants with history of hepatitis B infection with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antibody and undetectable PCR are allowed)
- Prior therapy with an anti-programmed-cell death 1 (PD-1), anti-PD-ligand 2 (L2) agent, or with an agent directed to another co-inhibitory T-cell receptor
