About this trial

The purpose of this study is to see if people prefer immunotherapy treatment for kidney cancer delivered intravenously or subcutaneously and if it is practical for participants to receive labs at home and have a video (telehealth) visit with their doctor prior to their day of treatment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient is receiving standard of care treatment for renal cell carcinoma for one of the following indications: 1) NIVO monotherapy as maintenance, after ipilimumab and NIVO induction (up to 4 doses), 2) NIVO monotherapy as single-agent treatment, OR 3) adjuvant PEMBRO monotherapy or combination therapy with belzutifan. Of note, patient does not need to be newly initiating treatment to be eligible for this study.

For patients on NIVO monotherapy or PEMBRO (Groups 2 and 3 above), they must have received at least 1 dose as a standard of care to be eligible

Patient has at least 6 doses of planned treatment left as standard of care that can be given on protocol (either NIVO or PEMBRO)

For example, standard of care for adjuvant PEMBRO is 1 year of therapy which can be given at 3 (17 doses) or 6 (9 doses) week intervals. Patients can enter this trial after starting treatment but must have at least 6 doses of treatment left to be eligible.
