|
Evaluation of EFS (Event-free Survival)
Time Frame: 12 months after Radical Cystectomy
|
Event-free survival will be defined as the time from first study drug administration to one of the following: Radiographic disease progression precluding a curative intent surgery per RECIST v1.1 prior to RC Initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy preceding RC as per Investigator decision Inability to undergo RC due to the onset of treatment-related side effects Inability to complete a curative intent surgery determined by the urologist at the time of RC (e.g., unresectable tumor, metastases discovered at RC) Local or distant recurrence assessed by cross-sectional imaging and/or biopsy after RC Death from any cause. In this study, subject refusal to undergo RC due to the evidence of complete or near-complete clinical response (assessed on cross-sectional imaging as previously described) will not be considered an event. |
12 months after Radical Cystectomy
|
OS (Overall Survival)
Time Frame: 15 months
|
Overall survival is defined as the time from the first study drug administration to the date of death, regardless of the cause of death. Subjects who were alive at the time of the analysis will be censored at the date the subject was last known to be alive. |
15 months
