What is the purpose of this trial?This study will be comparing tivozanib in combination with nivolumab to tivozanib alone in subjects with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) who have had 1 or 2 prior lines of therapy, one of which was an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI).

My kidney cancer has been confirmed with a lab test.
You have a measurable disease according to specific medical guidelines.

Participant Groups

The study compares a combination of Tivozanib (a drug that targets tumor blood vessels) and Nivolumab (an immunotherapy) versus just Tivozanib alone in patients with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma. It aims to see if adding Nivolumab improves outcomes for patients who have already tried other treatments.
