Summary

This study tests whether analyzing the DNA of a kidney tumor can help doctors pick the most effective treatment for advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. About 54 adults who have not had prior systemic therapy will receive one of two standard drug combinations: two immunotherapies (nivolumab plus ipilimumab) or one immunotherapy plus a targeted pill (nivolumab plus cabozantinib). The goal is to see if genetic matching improves response rates.
