Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, toripalimab and axitinib, against the standard drug sunitinib in 421 people with advanced kidney cancer that could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to see if the combo could slow cancer growth better than sunitinib alone. Participants received either the combo or sunitinib as their first treatment.
