Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This clinical trial focuses on improving treatment strategies for patients who have undergone surgery for kidney cancer, specifically those with a higher chance of the cancer returning but no spread to other parts of the body. Typically, kidney cancer that has not spread but is at high risk of returning has a significant chance of coming back within five years. The study explores whether using a combination of two types of medication, Vorolanib and Toripalimab, or Vorolanib alone, can help delay or prevent the cancer from returning, thereby improving survival rates and overall outcomes for these patients. These medications work by targeting specific aspects of cancer growth and the body's immune response. Participants in the study will receive either Vorolanib alone or in combination with Toripalimab after their surgery. Vorolanib is taken orally and targets blood vessels that help cancer grow, while Toripalimab is an injection that helps the immune system fight cancer cells. The study will assess the safety and effectiveness of these treatments by monitoring the patients for signs of cancer recurrence and studying their overall health. Researchers will also explore if the presence of minimal residual disease, which are tiny amounts of cancer cells remaining after surgery, affects the likelihood of cancer returning. This study may bring new insights into preventing cancer recurrence and improving treatment approaches for kidney cancer patients.
