Study Summary

This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and how well it works in treating patients with high-risk kidney cancer before surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Primary Outcome

Significant delay is defined as delay of \> 112 days after the first dose of nivolumab, which would constitute a doubling of the 'planned delay' that our design requires for administration of preoperative therapy (56 days).

Interventions

  • BIOLOGICAL Nivolumab
  • PROCEDURE Metastasectomy
  • PROCEDURE Nephrectomy
