Summary

This study tests whether adding the cholesterol drug atorvastatin to standard targeted therapy (axitinib) and immunotherapy (toripalimab) can help people with advanced kidney cancer who are not responding well to treatment. The drug combination is guided by lab tests on patient-derived tumor cells to identify who might benefit. The trial will enroll 40 participants and focus on safety and tumor shrinkage.
