Eligibility

Recruits 28 Vulnerable population flag selected. All participants must be ≥18 years (Age ≥ 18 years) and provide written informed consent themselves (see inclusion criterion 1). There is no provision for assent of minors because minors are excluded. Exclusion criterion 13 excludes participants with psychiatric illness/social situations that would compromise capacity to give written informed consent..

Pregnancy Exclusion
10. Willingness to avoid pregnancy or fathering children based on the criteria below: a. Men must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid fathering children (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through 90 days after the last dose of erdafitinib and/or 150 days after the last dose of cetrelimab, unless confirmed to be azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause). b. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and before the first dose on Day 1 and must agree to take appropriateprecautions to avoid pregnancy (with at least 99% certainty) from screening through 90 days after the last dose of erdafitinib and/or 150 days after the last dose of cetrelimab (Acceptable contraception is defined in Appendix 8). A WOCBP is a female who 1) has achieved menarche at some point 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 12 consecutive months (has had at least menses at any time preceding 12 consecutive months). Women of nonchildbearing potential (ie, surgically sterile with a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy OR ≥ 12 months of aamenorrhea) are eligible.
