Abstract
The treatment of metastatic clear cell renal cancer is changing rapidly, with the focus switching from vascular endothelial growth factor-targeted therapies to immune checkpoint inhibitors and novel combinations. Specifically, recent data with programmed death ligand inhibitors is revolutionizing the standard approach to metastatic renal cell carcinoma. However, there is speculation around a number of newer potentially therapeutic targets, such as indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, transforming growth factor-β, interleukin-10, and adenosine. In this article, we review novel treatments, promising combinations, and consideration in both trial design and clinical application of therapeutics that will influence practice in the future.
