Study Summary

The primary objective of the study is to compare intismeran autogene plus pembrolizumab to placebo plus pembrolizumab in participants with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator. The primary hypothesis is that intismeran autogene plus pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to DFS.
