Brief Summary
BACKGROUND: The role of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has been questioned and remains undetermined in the immuno-oncology era. Results from the two randomized trials, CARMENA and SURTIME, have questioned the role and timing of the surgery in these patients, however, these trials have only used the targeted therapy, sunitinib. With the advent of more effective systemic therapies including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), the role of surgical therapy should be reexamined. RATIONALE: The therapeutic effects of ICIs have demonstrated improved oncological outcomes compared to sunitinib. The updated results reported the beneficial role of upfront and deferred CN approach for selected patients. No studies have formally investigated the role of CN in the immune-oncology era where combinatorial use of CN plus ICIs might be beneficial. HYPOTHESIS: Upfront or deferred CN will improve oncological outcomes (overall survival, and progression free survival) in patients with synchronous mRCC and ≤3 IMDC risk features compared to immune checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination) alone. This is an open, randomized, multicenter comparison trial, designed to evaluate the effect of the potential role of CN in combination with immunotherapy in mRCC patients with IMDC intermediate and poor risk.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Core needle biopsy proven metastatic renal cell carcinoma - clear cell histologic subtypes only acceptable. 2. Synchronous metastatic renal cell carcinoma with the primary tumor present in the kidney. 3. Patient must be willing to provide their human-derived materials. 4. Age ≥19. 5. Signed written informed consent obtained prior to any study specific procedures. 6. Patient must be willing and able to comply with the protocol. 7. Measurable disease as per RECIST v 1.1 8. Life expectancy of greater than 4 months. 9. Patients with more than one prognostic factor by the International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (IMDC) criteria (intermediate- or poor-risk group). 10. Patients for which Nivolumab/Ipilimumab considered indicated according to the recommendations by the national health authorities. The prescription of nivolumab/ipilimumab in the circumstances of the study is considered as a standard treatment. 11. Karnofsky Performance status ≥70 12. Females with a negative serum pregnancy test unless childbearing potential can be otherwise excluded (postmenopausal, hysterectomy or oophorectomy) and not lactating. 13. Fertile women of childbearing potential (\<2 years after last menstruation) and men must use effective means of contraception (oral contraceptives, intrauterine contraceptive device, barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly or surgical sterilization). 14. The required laboratory values are as follows: * Adequate bone marrow function (Absolute neutrophil count \> 1500/mm3, platelets \> 100 x 103/µl, hemoglobin \> 10.0 g/dL.) * International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) * Adequate hepatic function (bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN, ALAT ≤ 2.5 x ULN) * Adequate kidney function (eGFR \> 35 mL/min) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior systemic treatment for mRCC 2. Major surgical procedure, open surgical biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to enrollment 3. Other cancer within 5 years. 4.

Any active or recent history of a known or suspected autoimmune disease or recent history of a condition that require systemic corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications, excluding inhaled steroids and topical steroids. Subjects with vitiligo or type I diabetes mellitus or residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment are permitted to enroll. 8. Oral or i.v. antibiotics administered 14 days prior to initiation of systemic therapy. 9. Any positive test for hepatitis B- or C-Virus indicating acute or chronic infection. 10.
