Study Summary

This trial is testing sitravatinib & nivolumab to treat patients with metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer. Sitravatinib may stop growth by blocking enzymes & nivolumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer who've had 1-2 previous treatments including specific therapies like PD-1/PD-L1 CPI. They must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition, and not pregnant. Exclusions include other recent cancers, certain medical conditions, and those on conflicting medications.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests sitravatinib combined with nivolumab against advanced kidney cancer. Sitravatinib may halt tumor growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth while nivolumab boosts the immune system to fight cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions that can affect organs, fatigue, digestive issues, skin problems, hormonal gland changes (like thyroid), and possible infusion-related reactions.
