This phase II trial tests how well giving gemcitabine and carboplatin works to treat patients with urothelial carcinoma that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving gemcitabine and carboplatin may be effective in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic, progressive urothelial carcinoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To measure the objective response rate (ORR) including confirmed complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) rates to gemcitabine plus carboplatin (GC) after prior exposure to enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab (EVP) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate progression free survival (PFS) as a function of time since study enrollment in patients receiving GC after prior exposure to EVP.
II. To evaluate overall survival (OS) as a function of time since study enrollment in patients receiving GC after prior exposure to EVP.
III. To evaluate the frequency and severity of toxicities attributed to GC after prior exposure to EVP.
IV. To evaluate the disease control rate (DCR) of GC after prior exposure to EVP.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore changes in quality-of-life (QOL) measures for patients treated with GC after EVP and the relationship between changes in QOL and treatment tolerability and clinical outcomes.
II. To evaluate relevant biomarkers of aging (interleukin-6 [IL-6], C-reactive protein, D-Dimer, and four composite molecular aging panel [FC-MAP]) in older patients (over age 65) receiving GC after EVP.
III. To evaluate the geriatric assessment (GA) in older patients receiving GC after EVP
IV. To evaluate the utility of circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) to identify potential mechanisms of resistance to EVP and on-treatment response to GC.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive gemcitabine intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and every 3 months for 2 years.
