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. * The last dose of first line chemotherapy must have been received no less than 4 weeks, and no more than 10 weeks, prior to randomization in the present study * Estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months * Participants without progressive disease as per RECIST v1.1 guidelines following completion of 4 to 6 cycles of 1L chemotherapy. Eligibility based on this criterion will be determined by Investigator review of pre chemotherapy and post chemotherapy radiological assessments (CT/MRI scans). * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0 or 1 * Adequate hematological, hepatic, and renal function as defined in the protocol * Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with prior immunotherapy with Interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-15, interferon alfa (IFN-α), or an anti programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), anti programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), anti PD-L2, anti CD137, or cytotoxic T cell l…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
