Summary

This trial will test if a combination of two drugs is a safe and effective treatment for advanced kidney cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced kidney cancer that's been treated before can join this trial. They must have had specific prior treatments, no severe liver issues, and be generally well enough to do daily activities. Pregnant women or those who've had certain other cancers recently can't participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combo of two drugs, Talazoparib and Axitinib, for safety and effectiveness in treating advanced kidney cancer. The right dose of Talazoparib with fewer side effects is being sought while using a standard dose of Axitinib.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include mild to moderate reactions from the drug combination. Specific side effects aren't listed but typically could involve fatigue, nausea, blood pressure changes, or liver function alterations.
