This trial is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center clinical trial designed to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer will translate into a decreased rate of acute (assessed weekly during chemo-radiotherapy) grade 3 or greater gastrointestinal/genitourinary toxicity compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive radiation therapy. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5 assessment tool will be utilized.

Acute GI/GU Toxicity
Acute gastrointestinal and genitourinary CTCAE v5 grade 3 or higher toxicity
Time frame: Assessed during the 4 weeks of external beam radiation therapy
Loco-regional Tumor Control
Loco-regional bladder tumor control at 2 years. Events include histologically proven presence of muscle-invasive disease or clinical evidence of nodal disease
Time frame: From baseline to 24 months after completion of chemoradiotherapy
Patient-reported Quality of Life
Patient-reported quality of life changes during and after EBRT treatment using adaptive IMRT by the subscale EORTC QLQ-BLM30 and EPIC 26
Time frame: From baseline to 24 months after completion of chemoradiotherapy
Adverse Events
Physician reported CTCAE V5 adverse events
Time frame: From the start of external beam radiation therapy to 24 months after completion chemoradiotherapy
Global Function
Change in global function as measured with EuroQol 5 dimension 5 level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. Higher scores for a given dimension indicate degraded function.
Time frame: From baseline to 24 months after completion of chemoradiotherapy
Disease-free Survival
Disease-free survival at 2 years (events include histologically proven presence of muscle-invasive disease, clinical evidence of nodal or metastatic disease, or death due to any cause)
Time frame: From the start of external beam radiation therapy to 24 months after completion chemoradiotherapy

Bladder Intact Event-free Survival
Bladder intact event-free survival at 2 years (events include histologically proven presence of muscle-invasive disease, clinical evidence of nodal or metastatic disease, radical cystectomy, or death due to any cause)
Time frame: From the start of external beam radiation therapy to 24 months after completion chemoradiotherapy
Bladder-cancer Specific Mortality
Bladder-cancer specific mortality at 2 years
Time frame: From the start of external beam radiation therapy to 24 months after completion chemoradiotherapy
Overall Survival
Overall survival at 2 years
Time frame: From the start of external beam radiation therapy to 24 months after completion chemoradiotherapy
NTCP Model
Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model of acute GI toxicity for hypofractionated bladder RT based on true integrated daily dose to the bowel
Time frame: Assessed during the 4 weeks of external beam radiation therapy
Adaptive Workflow Feasibility
Workflow feasibility of adaptive image guided EBRT for bladder cancer (including measuring time on table and frequency of using the adapted vs. original treatment plan for each fraction)
Time frame: Assessed during the 4 weeks of external beam radiation therapy
Dosimetric Coverage
Improvement in target coverage and/or reduction in dose to critical organs at risk compared to the non-adaptive planned dosimetry
Time frame: Assessed during the 4 weeks of external beam radiation therapy
Acute GI/GU Toxicity (>75% daily adaptive sub-cohort analysis)
Acute grade 3 or higher GI/GU CTCAE v5 toxicity rate in subjects who received 75% or more of their fractions as adaptive treatments
Time frame: Assessed during the 4 weeks of external beam radiation therapy
Acute GI/GU Toxicity (partial bladder boost sub-cohort analysis)
Acute GI/GU CTCAE v5 grade 3 or higher toxicity (assessed weekly during chemo-radiotherapy) in the cohort treated with partial bladder boost to 55 Gy
Time frame: Assessed during the 4 weeks of external beam radiation therapy
