2. Histologically proven, cT2-T4a N0, M0 infiltrating urothelial carcinoma (AJCC 2017) of the bladder. Initial diagnosis must have been within 120 days of randomization date. Participants with variant histologic subtypes are allowed if tumor(s) demonstrate urothelial predominance

You likely can't join if
