Efficacy of PErioperative PEmbrolizumab Treatment in Patients With Resectable Metastases From Kidney Cancer

This is a phase II trial aiming at assessing the efficacy of pembrolizumab to delay tumor progression in patients with oligometastatic clear cell metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC). Eligible patients for this trial should have received previous surgery for primary tumor and have maximum of three metastases considered eligible for radical therapy (surgery or metastases directed radiotherapy). Eligible patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive: * ARM A: pembrolizumab at flat dose of 400 mg every six weeks for a total of 9 cycles (one year of therapy) and metastasis directed treatment (surgery or RT) from day 21 of cycle 1 to day 42 of cycle 1; or * ARM B: local therapy alone within 42 days.

SAbR For Oligometastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Hypothesis: Stereotactic ablative body radiation (SAbR) prolongs progression-free survival for patients with oligometastatic kidney cancer (RCC) and delays the initiation of systemic therapy. Primary Objectives: • To evaluate the delay in time to start of systemic therapy (TTST) as a surrogate of progression free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the first day of SAbR to start of systemic therapy. Secondary Objective: * To evaluate the modified progression-free survival (mPFS) for patients with oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma who are treated with SAbR. * To evaluate the overall survival (OS) * To evaluate the cancer specific survival (CSS) * To evaluate the local control rate of irradiated lesions. * To measure the health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

A Randomized Trial of Maintenance Systemic Therapy After Radiation for Oligometastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (ASTROs)

To learn if adding 1 year of therapy with pembrolizumab can help to continue to control RCC after radiation therapy.
