Symbiotic-GU-08: A Study to Learn About the Medicine Called PF-08634404 Dosed Alone and in Combination With Other Anticancer Therapies in Adults With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer

This study is testing a new medicine called PF-08634404 and how it works in adults with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC)- a type of kidney cancer that is either locally advanced (spread to nearby tissues) or metastatic (spread to other parts of the body). The study will look at the safety of the study medicine, when given alone or with other anticancer medicines, and how this type of cancer responds to them. To join the study, participants must be adults; with locally advanced or metastatic RCC; who have not received treatment for their advanced kidney cancer. Participants will receive study medicine either alone or with other anticancer medicines. The medicine will be given through intravenous (IV) infusions, which means it will be injected directly into a vein. All treatments will take place at clinical study sites, where trained medical staff will take care of participants during and after each visit.

Extension Study for Participants in Studies That Include Belzutifan (MK-6482-043/LITESPARK-043)

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat advanced solid tumors and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)-related tumors: * Advanced means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed with surgery * Solid tumors are cancers mostly in body organs and tissues, not in the blood or other body liquids * VHL-related tumors are tumors caused by VHL disease. VHL disease is passed down from parents to children and people with VHL disease have a higher chance of getting certain types of cancer Researchers want to learn about the long-term effects of a trial medicine called belzutifan. Belzutifan, also called MK-6482, is designed to block a protein that helps tumors grow and survive. This is an extension trial, which means only people who were in certain other belzutifan trials (called parent trials) may be able to join. The goal of this trial is to learn how long people live after they start taking belzutifan.

A Clinical Study of Belzutifan (MK-6482) and Zanzalintinib in People With Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) (LITESPARK-034/LS-034/MK-6482-034)

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A standard (usual) treatment for certain people with RCC is belzutifan (a study medicine), which is a targeted therapy.

Researchers want to learn if adding another targeted therapy called zanzalintinib (another study medicine) can treat more people with advanced RCC than belzutifan alone. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive belzutifan and zanzalintinib live longer overall and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive belzutifan and placebo.
