What is Involved?

We are doing this study to learn if the study drug combination belzutifan+lenvatinib is a safe and effective treatment for renal cell carcinoma. We want to learn what kind of side effects people have when they are taking belzutifan+lenvatinib compared to cabozantinib (an approved treatment for RCC).
