3. Safety variables:

Inclution Criteria
1. Age ≥18 years at the time of screening.
2. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (eg, Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act in the US, European Union [EU] Data Privacy Directive in
the EU) obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related
procedures, including screening evaluations. (For patients aged <20 years and enrolling in
Japan, a written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and his or her legally
acceptable representative.)
3. Patients with histologically or cytologically documented, unresectable, Stage IV (ie, T4b,
any N; or any T, N2-N3 (Note: The Investigators will use their discretion to confirm the cause
of N2 disease [reactive or inflammatory]); or M1) transitional cell carcinoma (transitional cell
and mixed transitional/non-transitional cell histologies) of the urothelium (including renal
pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra), who have not been previously treated with
first-line chemotherapy. (Patients who have received prior definitive chemoradiation for
locally advanced disease, adjuvant treatment, or neoadjuvant treatment are eligible, provided
that progression has occurred >6 months from last therapy [for chemoradiation and adjuvant
treatment] or >6 months from last surgery [for neoadjuvant treatment].)
4. At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10
mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have a short axis ≥15 mm) with a
computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and that is suitable for
accurate repeated measurements as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors,
version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) guidelines.
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS 0 or 1
6. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks (in the opinion of the Investigator)
7. Patients eligible or ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Cisplatin ineligibility is defined
as meeting 1 of the following criteria:
- Creatinine clearance (calculated or measured) <60 mL/min
- Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade ≥2 audiometric hearing
loss
- CTCAE Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy
- New York Heart Association Class III heart failure
8. Tumor PD-L1 status, with IHC assay confirmed by a reference laboratory, must be known prior
to randomization. As such, all patients must be able to undergo a fresh tumor biopsy during
screening (strongly encouraged) or provide an available tumor sample taken <3 years prior to
screening. Tumor lesions used for fresh biopsies should not be target lesions, unless there are
no other lesions suitable for biopsy. Fine needle aspirate specimens are not acceptable.
Specimens from metastatic bone lesions are typically unacceptable unless there is a significant
soft tissue component. The tumor specimen submitted to establish eligibility should be of
sufficient quantity to allow for PD-L1 IHC and other exploratory biomarker analyses and is
preferred in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded blocks.
9. Adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
- Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/mm3
- Platelet count ≥100000/mm3
- Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to patients with
confirmed Gilbert’s syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia [predominantly
unconjugated bilirubin] in the absence of evidence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who
will be allowed in consultation with their physician.
- ALT and AST ≤2.5 × ULN; for patients with hepatic metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 × ULN
- Calculated creatinine clearance >40 mL/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault (using actual
body weight; see Appendix B)
10. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female
pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been
amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific
requirements apply:
- Women <50 years of age would be considered postmenopausal if they have been
amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments
and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the
post-menopausal range for the institution.
- Women ≥50 years of age would be considered postmenopausal if they have been
amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal
treatments, had radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago, had
chemotherapy-induced menopause with >1 year interval since last menses, or underwent
surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
Exclusion Criteria
1. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both
AstraZeneca/MedImmune staff and/or staff at the study site)
2. Previous IP assignment in the present study
3. Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (noninterventional)
clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study
4. Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy (with exclusion of Bacillus Calmette Guerin,
BCG), including but not limited to, other anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2
antibodies, including therapeutic anticancer vaccines
5. Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE Grade ≥2 from previous anticancer therapy with the
exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria
- Patients with Grade <2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after
consultation with the Study Physician.
- Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment
with MEDI4736 or tremelimumab may be included after consultation with the Study
Physician.
6. Any concurrent chemotherapy, IP, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment.
Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (eg, hormone
replacement therapy) is acceptable. Note: Local treatment of isolated lesions, excluding target
lesions, for palliative intent is acceptable (eg, local surgery or radiotherapy).
7. Radiotherapy treatment to more than 30% of the bone marrow or with a wide field of radiation
within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug
8. Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior to the first dose
of IP. Note: Local surgery of isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable.
9. History of allogenic organ transplantation that requires use of immunosuppressive agents.
10. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory
bowel disease [eg, colitis or Crohn’s disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of
diverticulosis], celiac disease, irritable bowel disease, or other serious gastrointestinal chronic
conditions associated with diarrhea, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or
Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves’ disease, rheumatoid arthritis,
hypophysitis, uveitis, etc]) within the past 3 years prior to the start of treatment. The
following are exceptions to this criterion:

11. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection,
symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris,
cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would
limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or
compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent
12. Other malignancy within 5 years except for noninvasive malignancies such as cervical
carcinoma in situ, non-melanomatous carcinoma of the skin, or ductal carcinoma in situ of the
breast that has been surgically cured. Cancer patients with incidental histologic findings of
prostate cancer (tumor/node/metastasis stage of T1a or T1b or prostate-specific antigen <10)
who have not received hormonal treatment may be included, pending a discussion with the
Study Physician.
13. History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis
14. Brain metastases or spinal cord compression. Patients with suspected brain metastases at
screening should have a CT/ MRI of the brain prior to study entry.
15. Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) ≥470 ms calculated
