Key Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: - Urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder, clinical stage T2-T4aN0, M0 or T1-T4aN1, M0, diagnosed at transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) - Must be deemed eligible for Radical Cystectomy (RC) by urologist, and must agree to undergo RC. For arms A and B, participants must agree to undergo RC after completion of neoadjuvant therapy. - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 - Cisplatin-ineligible participants will be defined by any one of the following criteria: i) Impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] ≥ 30 but < 60 mL/min) ii) GFR should be assessed by direct measurement (ie, creatinine clearance) or, if not available, by calculation from serum/plasma creatinine (Cockcroft-Gault formula) iii) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5, ≥ Grade 2 hearing loss (assessed per local SOC). iv) CTCAE version 5, ≥ Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy. - Documented Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) more than 45% Exclusion Criteria: - Clinical evidence of ≥ N2 or metastatic bladder cancer - Prior systemic therapy, radiation therapy, or surgery for bladder cancer other than TURBT or biopsies is not permitted. Prior Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) or other intravesicular treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is permitted if completed at least 6 weeks prior to initiating study treatment. - Evidence of urothelial carcinoma (UC) in upper urinary tracts (ureters or renal pelvis) or history of previous MIBC - History of pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or prior clinically significant venous or non-CVA(cerebrovascular accident)/TIA (Transient ischemic attack) arterial thromboembolic event - Known cardiovascular history, including unstable or deteriorating cardiac disease within the previous 12 months (including unstable angina or myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure or uncontrolled clinically significant arrhythmias) Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply
