This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitecan to sacituzumab govitecan alone in treating patients with urothelial cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body\'s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called govitecan. Sacituzumab attaches to TROP2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers govitecan to kill them. Giving pembrolizumab and sacituzumab govitecan may be more effective than sacituzumab govitecan alone in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.
