Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria:

Advanced (not amenable to curative surgery or radiation therapy) or metastatic (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] 8 stage IV) RCC
Intermediate or poor risk disease by International Metastatic Renal Cell CarcinomaDatabase Consortium Criteria (IMDC) classification
No prior systemic therapy for RCC with the following exception:
One prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for completely resectable RCC if suchtherapy did not include an agent that targets PD-1 or PD-L1 and if recurrenceoccurred at least 6 months after the last dose of adjuvant or neoadjuvanttherapy
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status < 2
Measurable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
Males and females, ages >= 18
Any ethnicity or race
Adequate renal function defined as calculated creatinine clearance >= 30 millilitersper minute (mL/min) per the Cockcroft and Gault formula or Serum creatinine < 1.5 xupper limit of normal (ULN)
Adequate liver function defined by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanineaminotransferase (ALT) < 3 x ULN (< 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present), andtotal bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can havetotal bilirubin up to 3.0 mg/dL)
White blood cells (WBC) > 2,000/mm^3
Neutrophils > 1,500/mm^3
Platelets > 100,000/mm^3
Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
Presence of untreated brain metastases. Patients with treated brain metastases mustbe stable for 4 weeks after completion of treatment and have documented stability onpre-study imaging. Patients must have no clinical symptoms from brain metastases andhave no requirement for systemic corticosteroids amounting to > 10 mg/day ofprednisone or its equivalent for at least 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.Patients with known leptomeningeal metastases are excluded, even if treated
Favorable risk disease by IMDC classification
Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, oranti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cellco-stimulation or checkpoint pathways
Any active or recent history of a known or suspected autoimmune disease or recenthistory of a syndrome that required systemic corticosteroids (> 10 mg dailyprednisone equivalent) or immunosuppressive medications except for syndromes whichwould not be expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger. Subjects withvitiligo or type I diabetes mellitus or residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmunethyroiditis only requiring hormone replacement are permitted to enroll
Active interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis or history of ILD/pneumonitisrequiring treatment with systemic steroids
Baseline pulse oximetry less than 92% "on room air"
Current use, or intent to use probiotics, prebiotics, yogurt, bacterial fortifiedfoods and other natural supplements =< 2 week prior to treatment initiation andduring the period of treatment
Any condition requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (> 10 mg dailyprednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days priorto first dose of study drug. Inhaled steroids and adrenal replacement steroid doses > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of activeautoimmune disease
Uncontrolled adrenal insufficiency
Known medical condition (e.g., a condition associated with diarrhea or acutediverticulitis) that, in the investigator's opinion, would increase the riskassociated with study participation or study drug administration or interfere withthe interpretation of safety results
Not recovered to =< Grade 1 toxicities related to any prior therapy beforeadministration of study drug
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
History of myocarditis or congestive heart failure (as defined by New York HeartAssociation Functional Classification III or IV), as well as unstable angina,serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled infection, or myocardialinfarction 6 months prior to study entry

Neutrophils < 1,500/mm^3
Platelets < 100,000/mm^3
AST or ALT > 3 x ULN (> 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present)
Total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can havetotal bilirubin 3.0 mg/dL)
Calculated creatinine clearance <30 millimeters per minute (mL/min) per theCockcroft and Gault formula or serum creatinine > 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
