This is a study of perioperative pembrolizumab or enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab in participants who are cisplatin-ineligible or decline cisplatin with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The primary hypothesis is that perioperative pembrolizumab plus radical cystectomy (RC) plus pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) and perioperative enfortumab vedotin in combination with pembrolizumab plus RC+PLND will achieve superior event-free survival (EFS) compared with RC+PLND alone. With Amendment 5, outcome measures for programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) were removed. With Amendment 8, the primary outcome measure of pathologic complete response (pCR) rates was changed to a secondary outcome measure.

Pembrolizumab 200 mg by intravenous (IV) infusion, given on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Surgical RC+PLND will be done in accordance with the American Urological Association (AUA)/American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO)/Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) guidelines.
Enfortumab vedotin 1.25 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion, given on Days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle.

Event-Free Survival (EFS) Between Arm C: Enfortumab Vedotin + Pembrolizumab + Surgery and Arm B: Surgery Alone
EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any of the following events: progression of disease that precludes radical cystectomy + pelvic lymph node dissection (RC + PLND) surgery, failure to undergo RC + PLND surgery in participants with residual disease and any radiographic disease present (biopsy-proven muscle-invasive bladder cancer \[MIBC\] will be considered an event regardless of radiographic findings), gross residual disease left behind at the time of surgery, local or distant recurrence as assessed by imaging and/or biopsy, or death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to approximately 53 months
EFS Between Arm A and Arm B
EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any of the following events: progression of disease that precludes RC surgery or failure to undergo RC surgery in participants with residual disease (biopsy-proven muscle-invasive bladder cancer \[MIBC\] will be considered an event regardless of radiographic findings), gross residual disease left behind at the time of surgery, local or distant recurrence as assessed by imaging and/or biopsy, or death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to approximately 6.75 years
Overall Survival (OS) Between Arm C and Arm B
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to approximately 7.6 years
OS Between Arm A and Arm B
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to approximately 7.6 years
Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate Between Arm C and Arm B
Pathologic complete response rate is defined as the percentage of participants having pCR. pCR is defined as absence of viable tumor (pT0N0) in examined tissue from RC and PLND, as assessed by blind independent central review (BICR).
Time frame: Up to approximately 53 monhts
pCR Rate Between Arm A and Arm B
Pathologic complete response rate is defined as the percentage of participants having pCR. pCR is defined as absence of viable tumor (pT0N0) in examined tissue from RC and PLND, as determined centrally.
Time frame: Up to approximately 5.7 years
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)
DFS is defined as the time from first post-surgery baseline scan until: * local or distant recurrence as assessed by imaging and/or biopsy * Death due to any cause
Time frame: Up to approximately 6.75 years
Pathologic Downstaging (pDS) Rate Between Arm A and Arm B
Pathologic downstaging rate is defined as the percentage of participants having pDS. pDS is defined as participants with a tumor classification of \<pT2 (includes pT0, pTis, pTa, pT1) and N0 in examined tissue from RC and PLND.
Time frame: Up to approximately 5.7 years
Pathologic Downstaging {pDS) Rate Between Arm C and Arm B
Pathologic downstaging (pDS) is defined as participants with a tumor classification of \<pT2. The pathologic stage \<pT2 includes pT0 (No residual primary tumor found in the tissue examined), pTis (carcinoma in situ; a flat, non-invasive cancer confined to the epithelial lining), pTa (Non-invasive papillary carcinoma limited to the urothelium) pT1 (tumor has invaded the connective tissue beneath the urothelium, but not the muscle layer) and N0 (No cancer found in the examined lymph nodes) in examined tissue from RC and PLND. The \<pT2 category represents a better outcome than participants with residual muscle-invasive disease (pT2 or higher) and/or any nodal involvement (N1/N2). The percentage of participants with pDS is presented.
Time frame: Up to approximately 53 months
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy can be determined.
Time frame: Up to approximately 7.6 years
Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease (new or worsening) temporally associated with the use of study therapy, regardless of whether or not a causal relationship with the study therapy can be determined.
Time frame: Up to approximately 1 year
Number of Participants Experiencing Perioperative Complications
The number of participants who experience perioperative complications will be presented.
Time frame: Up to approximately 1 year
