Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants with histologically confirmed, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Both transitional cell and mixed transitional/non- transitional cell histologies are allowed, but transitional cell carcinoma must be the predominant histology
- Participants has documented Stage IIIA/IIIB with N1-N3, or Stage IV disease (per American Joint Committee on Cancer/International Union for Cancer Control Tumor Node Metastasis system, 8th edition) at the start of first line chemotherapy.
