What the film says

Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic kidney cancer containing clear cells and no previous systemic kidney-cancer treatment. Tumor RNA testing must place them in eligible clusters.

The idea: test results assign treatment without randomization. One group receives intravenous ipilimumab plus nivolumab, followed by nivolumab maintenance. The other receives nivolumab plus daily oral cabozantinib. Immunotherapies release immune brakes; cabozantinib blocks growth and blood-supply signals. Researchers measure tumor responses to this treatment-selection approach.

This phase 2 study plans 54 patients. Brian Rini leads at Vanderbilt in Nashville; six US sites are recruiting.
