The primary purpose of the study is to demonstrate that lenvatinib in combination with everolimus (Arm A) or pembrolizumab (Arm B) is superior compared to sunitinib alone (Arm C) in improving progression-free survival (PFS) (by independent imaging review \[IIR\] using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST 1.1\]) as first-line treatment in participants with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participants who have received any systemic anticancer therapy for RCC, including anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy, or any systemic investigational anticancer agent. Prior adjuvant treatment with an investigational anticancer agent is not allowed unless the investigator can provide evidence of participant's randomization to placebo arm. 2. Participants with central nervous system (CNS) metastases are not eligible, unless they have completed local therapy (example, whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), surgery or radiosurgery) and have discontinued the use of corticosteroids for this indication for at least 4 weeks before starting treatment in this study. Any signs (example, radiologic) or symptoms of CNS metastases must be stable for at least 4 weeks before starting study treatment 3. Active malignancy (except for RCC, definitively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, and carcinoma in-situ of the cervix or bladder) within the past 24 months. Participants with history of localized \& low risk prostate cancer are allowed in the study if they were treated with curative intent and there is no prostate specific antigen (PSA) recurrence within the past 5 years 4.

Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (example, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed. 7. Participants with proteinuria \>1+ on urine dipstick testing will undergo 24-h urine collection for quantitative assessment of proteinuria. Participants with urine protein \>=1 g/24 h will be ineligible 8.

A separate baseline assessment is required if a negative screening pregnancy test was obtained more than 72 hours before the first dose of study drug. 24. Females of childbearing potential who: * Do not agree to use a highly effective method of contraception for the entire study period and for 120 days after study discontinuation, that is: * total abstinence (if it is their preferred and usual lifestyle) * an intrauterine device (IUD) or hormone-releasing system (IUS) * a contraceptive implant * an oral contraceptive (with additional barrier method) OR * Do not have a vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia. For sites outside of the EU, it is permissible that if a highly effective method of contraception is not appropriate or acceptable to the participant, then the participant must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception, that is, double barrier methods of contraception such as condom plus diaphragm or cervical/vault cap with spermicide. 25. Males who have not had a successful vasectomy (confirmed azoospermia) and do not agree to use condom + spermicide OR have a female partner who does not meet the criteria above (that is, is of childbearing potential and not practicing highly effective contraception throughout the study period), starting with the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy, unless sexually abstinent. Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the participant. 26. Known intolerance to any of the study drugs (or any of the excipients) 27. Participant has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant.

    PFS assessed by IIR was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death (whichever occurred first) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase or 5 millimeter (mm) increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the smallest sum on study) recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. PFS was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method.

    The FKSI-DRS consisted of 9 items that experts and participants had indicated are important targets for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer, and that clinical experts had indicated are primarily disease-related, as opposed to treatment-related. Symptoms assessed on the FKSI-DRS included lack of energy, fatigue, weight loss, pain, bone pain, shortness of breath, cough, fever, or hematuria. Each item was scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale (0 = not at all; 4 = very much) where total score ranged from 0 (worst) to 36 (best), where higher scores correspond to better outcomes. Data for this outcome measure will be reported after study completion (anticipated study completion date is March 2026).

    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire including 30 questions that rate the overall quality of life in cancer participants. The first 28 questions use a 4-point scale (1=not at all to 4=very much) for evaluating function (physical, role, social, cognitive, emotional), symptoms (diarrhea, fatigue, dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, nausea/vomiting, constipation, and pain) and financial difficulties. The last 2 questions use a 7-point scale (1=very poor to 7=excellent) to evaluate overall health and quality of life. Scores are transformed to a range of 0 to 100 using a standard EORTC algorithm. For the overall HRQoL and functioning scales, a higher score is correlated with better HRQoL, whereas a higher score represents worse HRQoL for symptom scales.

    EQ-5D-3L is a health profile questionnaire consisting of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EuroQol visual analog scale (EQ-VAS). For the EQ-5D, participants rate 5 dimensions of health (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) at 1 of 3 levels (1=no problems; 2=some problems; 3=extreme problems). The EQ-5D Health Utilities Index (HUI) is derived from the five dimensions of the EQ-5D, using country-specific preference weights (tariffs) to summarize how good or bad each health state is on a scale from 1 (full health) to \<0 (worse health/dead). The EQ-VAS measures self-rated global health status using a vertically oriented VAS, where 100 represents the "best imaginable health state" and 0 represents the "worst imaginable health state." Data for this outcome measure will be reported after study completion (anticipated study completion date is March 2026)
