PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) when given in combination with docetaxel or gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) in patients with advanced or metastatic platinum-treated urothelial cancer. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess in a preliminary manner the efficacy of this combination (overall response rate and progression free survival). II. To determine in an exploratory manner programmed death (PD)-ligand (L)1 expression in archival tumor specimens and to correlate this with patient outcomes. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of pembrolizumab. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment arms. (Patients who had received prior gemcitabine hydrochloride/cisplatin or gemcitabine hydrochloride/carboplatin [GC] or methotrexate, vinblastine sulfate, adriamycin, and cisplatin [MVAC] therapy are assigned to Arm A). ARM A: Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 and docetaxel IV over 60 minutes on day 1. ARM B: Patients receive pembrolizumab IV as in Arm A and gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. In both arms, treatment repeats every 21 days for 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 6 months.
