Summary

This study tests whether giving immunotherapy before surgery can shrink tumors in people with a type of kidney cancer that is at high risk of coming back. About 69 adults with clear cell renal cell carcinoma will receive one of three drug combinations (nivolumab alone, nivolumab plus ipilimumab, or nivolumab plus relatlimab) for two cycles before their surgery. The main goal is to see how many patients have a significant reduction in their tumor after treatment.
