Inclusion criteria

• Histological confirmation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with a clear cell component, including participants who may also have sarcomatoid features
• Advanced RCC (not amenable to curative surgery or radiation therapy) or metastatic RCC (Stage IV)
• Measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) v1.1 criteria within 28 days prior to randomization
• Received no more than 2 prior systemic treatment regimens
• Intolerance or progression on or after the last treatment regimen received and within 6 months prior to randomization
• Karnofsky PS ≥ 70 at screening
• Must agree to follow specific methods of contraception, if applicable

Exclusion criteria

• Untreated, symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases
• Concurrent malignancy (present during screening) requiring treatment or history of prior malignancy active within 2 years prior to randomization
• Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease
• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive with an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining opportunistic infection within the last year, or a current CD4 count < 350 cells/μL. Participants with HIV are eligible if:

• They have received established antiretroviral therapy (ART) for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization
• They continue on ART as clinically indicated while enrolled on study
• CD4 counts and viral load are monitored per standard of care by a local health care provider
• Inclusion of participants with HIV should be based on Investigator clinical judgment in consultation with the Medical Monitor NOTE: Testing for HIV must be performed at sites where mandated locally. HIV-positive participants must be excluded where mandated locally
• Serious or uncontrolled medical disorders including for example, active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-CoV-2) infection within approximately 4 weeks prior to screening. In the case of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, acute symptoms must have resolved based on investigator clinical judgment and, in consultation with Medical Monitor, there are no sequelae that would place the participant at a higher risk of receiving investigational treatment to be eligible
• Prior treatment with an programmed death receptor-1 (anti-PD-1), programmed death ligand-1 (anti-PD-L1), or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (anti-CTLA-4) antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell costimulation or checkpoint pathways
• Treatment with any live attenuated vaccine within 30 days of first study treatment
