The Impact of Time-of-day-Dependent Administration of Nivolumab-Ipilimumab (ICI/ICI) Combination on Overall Survival in Adults With Advanced Kidney Cancer: A Pragmatic Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the timing of treatments plays a role in how effective the standard-of-care drugs nivolumab/ipilimumab (ICI/ICI) works to treat adults with advanced kidney cancer. The trial will also learn if time-of-day reduces ICI/ICI side-effects. Researchers will compare ICI/ICI given in the morning (before 11:30am) vs in the afternoon (after 1:30pm), to see if circadian rhythm effects how ICI/ICI works to treat advanced kidney cancer. Participants will be randomized in Arm A or Arm B to receive drugs ICI/ICI either in the morning (Arm A) or afternoon (Arm B) as part of their standard-of-care treatment for advanced kidney cancer. Participants will: * Visit the clinic either in the morning (Arm A) or afternoon (Arm B) to receive ICI/ICI treatment as part of their regular medical care for advanced kidney cancer * Frequency of visits will follow standard-of-care guidelines

Study of Durvalumab and Guadecitabine in Advanced Kidney Cancer

This is a single arm, multi-centre (via Big Ten Cancer Research Consortium) phase Ib/II study of patients treated with durvalumab 1500 mg IV q 4 weeks in combination with guadecitabine at the recommended phase 2 dose subcutaneously for 5 consecutive days. Eligible patients will have metastatic RCC with a clear cell component, ECOG performance status of 0-1, have received 0-1 prior therapy but no prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA4 (Cohort 1, 36 subjects). Study treatment could potentially continue for up to 13 cycles (52 weeks).
