About the study

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of RO7247669 (PD1-LAG3) in combination with axitinib alone or with tiragolumab (anti-TIGIT) and axitinib, as compared to pembrolizumab and axitinib in participants with previously untreated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

19. Significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm or arterial dissection requiring surgical repair or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 6 months prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1
20. Tumors invading pulmonary blood vessels, cavitating pulmonary lesions or known endobronchial disease
21. Tumor invading the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including abdominal or tracheoesophageal fistulas

33. History of another primary malignancy other than RCC within 2 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year OS rate > 90%)
34. Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before randomization or anticipation that such a live, attenuated vaccine will be required during the study
