Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable, advanced renal cell cancer (RCC) with clear cell component (with or without sarcomatoid features) ie, Stage IV renal cell cancer per AJCC (8th Edition).
  • Has measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).
  • Has disease recurrence during adjuvant anti-programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1/L1) therapy or recurrence ≤24 months following the last dose of adjuvant anti-PD-1/L1 therapy.
  • Has received no other prior systemic therapy for their RCC except for their adjuvant anti-PD-1/L1 therapy.

You likely can't join if

  • Has clinically significant cardiovascular disease within 12 months from first dose of study intervention, including New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, unstable angina, new-onset angina, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, cerebral vascular accident, or cardiac arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic instability.
  • Has a requirement for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
  • Has history of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
  • Has hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus.
  • Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention.
  • Had deep vein thrombosis within 3 months before randomization unless stable, asymptomatic, and treated with therapeutic anticoagulation for at least 4 weeks before randomization.
