About This Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Study in Bloomington

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding live biotherapy, MO-03, to standard of care (SOC) immunotherapy, including ipilimumab, nivolumab, axitinib, pembrolizumab, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib, to SOC immunotherapy alone in treating patients with clear cell renal cell cancer that may have spread from where it first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic). Studies have shown that gut health (the gut microbiome) may impact the effectiveness of immunotherapy. The microbiome includes all of the bacteria and organisms naturally found in the digestive tract. MO-03, a type of biotherapy, contains material from living organisms that may help keep the digestive tract healthy and may help to increase the effect of immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are a type of angiogenesis inhibitor and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that block certain proteins which may help keep tumor cells from growing and may also help prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Adding MO-03 to SOC immunotherapy may be more effective than SOC immunotherapy alone in treating patients with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer.

NOTE: Vitamin and electrolyte or mineral supplements are permitted
Participants must not have had prior systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic RCC or any treatment with immune based combination therapy
NOTE: Participants can have prior neo/adjuvant treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and/or anti-CTLA-4 antibody or other therapies for any current or prior malignancy if \> 12 months prior to registration
Participants must not be receiving steroid replacement therapy for adrenal insufficiency greater than 50 mg daily of hydrocortisone or prednisone equivalent dose at the time of registration
Participants must not require the use of systemic corticosteroids \> 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent for any reason other than replacement therapy for adrenal insufficiency
Participants must not have received any systemic antibiotics within 7 days prior to registration

Participants must not have any known history of an autoimmune disease that prohibits the use of immune checkpoint therapy
Participants must not be pregnant or nursing (nursing includes breast milk fed to an infant by any means, including from the breast, milk expressed by hand, or pumped). Individuals who are of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method with details provided as a part of the consent process.
