2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Axitinib Plus Pembrolizumab GroupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in this group will receive combination treatment of Axitinib plus Pembrolizumab for up to 2 years followed by monotherapy of Axitinib until withdrawal of consent, disease progression and/or unacceptable toxicity as assessed by treating physician, whichever occurs first.
