- You have confirmed kidney cancer (clear cell type) that has spread to 5 or fewer sites
- You are in good general health (able to walk and care for yourself)
- You have not had recent immunotherapy (or stopped it at least 24 weeks ago)
**You may NOT be eligible if:**
- You have widespread metastatic disease (such as spread throughout the lining of the brain or belly)
