The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the combination of abemaciclib and cabozantinib is a safe and effective treatment for people with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and translocation-associated renal cell cancer (tRCC). The researchers will test different doses of the study drugs to find the highest doses that cause few or mild side effects in participants.
The goal of this research study is to establish the safety and then to explore the effectiveness of infusing the combination of cytokine-induced memory-like (CIML) natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell in the blood that is collected and bathed in special proteins to help identify and treat curtained advanced cancers, combined with low dose IL-2, which is a cytokine that activates immune cells, in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Names of the study therapies involved in this study are/is: * CIML NK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy) * IL-2 (a type of cytokine)
Background: Kidney cancer is the 12th leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Some kidney tumors do not respond well to current treatments. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a pair of drugs (sasanlimab and palbociclib) in people with kidney cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with kidney cancer; specifically, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) or papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC). Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have an imaging scan and a test of their heart function. They may have a biopsy; that is, a sample of tissue will be cut from the tumor. Participants will be treated in 28-day cycles for up to 2 years. Palbociclib is a pill taken by mouth. Participants will take this drug once a day for 21 days during each 28-day treatment cycle. They will write down the dates and times they take these pills in a diary. Sasanlimab is an injection under the skin. Participants will receive this injection on the first day of each treatment cycle. Imaging scans and blood tests will be repeated throughout the treatment. Tumor biopsies may be repeated up to 3 times; these biopsies are optional. Participants will have follow-up visits every month for 3 months after treatment ends. They will continue to have imaging scans every 3 months; these scans may be done close to home. The results can be sent to researchers. Participants will remain in the study up to 6 years.
