MK-renal: This Phase III trial is evaluating how safe and effective a combination of targeted therapies (belzutifan + lenvatinib) is compared with another targeted therapy (cabozantinib) is in peoplke with advanced renal cell carcinomaAn Open-label, Randomized, Phase 3 Study of MK-6482 in Combination With Lenvatinib (MK-7902) vs Cabozantinib in Participants With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Who Have Progressed After Prior Anti-PD-1/L1 Therapy
