About This Advanced Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma (Ccrcc) Study in Bethesda

Background: Kidney cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Some kidney tumors do not respond well to current treatments. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a pair of drugs (sasanlimab and palbociclib) in people with kidney cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with kidney cancer; specifically, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) or papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC). Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have an imaging scan and a test of their heart function. They may have a biopsy; that is, a sample of tissue will be cut from the tumor. Participants will be treated in 28-day cycles for up to 2 years. Palbociclib is a pill taken by mouth. Participants will take this drug once a day for 21 days during each 28-day treatment cycle. They will write down the dates and times they take these pills in a diary. Sasanlimab is an injection under the skin. Participants will receive this injection on the first day of each treatment cycle. Imaging scans and blood tests will be repeated throughout the treatment. Tumor biopsies may be repeated up to 3 times; these biopsies are optional. Participants will have follow-up visits every month for 3 months after treatment ends. They will continue to have imaging scans every 3 months; these scans may be done close to home. The results can be sent to researchers. Participants will remain in the study up to 6 years.

Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Hemoglobin (Hb) \>= 9 g/dL with no blood transfusion within 2 weeks prior to treatment initiation

Platelets \>= 100,000/microliter

Adequate renal and hepatic function at screening, as follows:

Serum creatinine \<= 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) OR, if \>1.5x ULN, creatinine clearance (CrCl) \>= 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 (calculated CrCl (CKD-EPI or calculated eGFR provided by laboratory))

Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period. NOTE: WOCBP is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization or who is not postmenopausal.

Men with female partners of reproductive potential and pregnant partners are required to use a condom (even after vasectomy), during treatment and for at least 6 months after the final dose and must refrain from donating sperm during this same period.
