  • Can submit an archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated
  • Has experienced disease progression on or after systemic treatment with an anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/Ligand 1 (L1) therapy for locally advanced or metastatic RCC
  • Has received no more than 3 prior systemic regimens for locally advanced or metastatic RCC
  • Has recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to ≤Grade 1 or baseline, with the exception of ≤Grade 2 neuropathy or endocrine-related AEs ≤Grade 2 requiring treatment or hormone replacement
