Summary
This early-stage study tested whether giving two immunotherapy drugs (spartalizumab and canakinumab) before surgery for localized kidney cancer is safe and practical. Seventeen adults with clear cell renal cell carcinoma received the drugs before their scheduled kidney removal. The main goal was to see if most patients could still proceed to surgery as planned.
