Summary

This trial will compare the effects of two ways of administering the drug nivolumab in patients who have a certain type of kidney cancer that has come back or spread.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma who've had no more than two prior treatments. They must have a Karnofsky performance status of at least 70, measurable disease by RECIST v1.1, and agree to use contraception if needed. Exclusions include untreated brain metastases, active autoimmune diseases, certain HIV conditions, recent live vaccines, other cancers within 2 years, and previous treatment with specific immune-targeting drugs.
What is being tested?
The study compares the levels and effects of Nivolumab when given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) versus intravenously (into a vein). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these methods to assess drug efficacy and safety in those previously treated for kidney cancer that has spread.
What are the potential side effects?
Nivolumab can cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in organs like lungs or intestines, skin reactions, hormone gland problems (like thyroid), liver issues; also fatigue, weakness, rash may occur. Side effects vary from person to person.
