Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) in combination with nivolumab by assessing the objective response rate (ORR) in cisplatin ineligible, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 Per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in Patients Whose Tumors Have Low Programmed Cell Death Ligand (PD-L1) Expression
- timeFrame
- Tumor assessments were performed at baseline and every 9 weeks from Cycle 1 Day 1 for the first 12 months, and then every 12 weeks as indicated in the Schedule of Events, up to approximately 27 months
- description
- To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of NKTR-214 in combination with nivolumab by assessing the ORR by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) per blinded independent central review (BICR) in patients whose tumors have low programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with confirmed objective response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) on or before the first progressive disease and any subsequent anticancer therapy. CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) had to have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
