Brief Summary:
This phase II trial tests whether the addition of radiation to the primary tumor, typically given with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), in combination with standard of care immunotherapy improves outcomes in patients with renal cell cancer that is not recommended for surgery and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Radiation therapy uses high energy photons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses of radiation over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, ipilimumab, avelumab, and pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Axitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib are in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. They work by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Giving SABR in combination with standard of care immunotherapy may help shrink or stabilize the cancer in patients with renal cell cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- Nephrectomy and radiographic progression-free survival (nrPFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Nephrectomy and radiographic progression-free survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of first radiographic progression, nephrectomy, death, or last negative evaluation (censored). nrPFS rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression is determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria modified for immunotherapy trials (iRECIST).
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Percentage of participants with complete or partial response [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Best overall response is determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria modified for immunotherapy trials (iRECIST).

- Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Radiographic progression-free survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of first radiographic progression, death, or last negative evaluation (censored). rPFS rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Radiographic progression is determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria modified for immunotherapy trials (iRECIST).
- Nephrectomy and radiographic progression-free survival excluding nephrectomies that were performed for non-protocol specified reasons (nrPFS2) [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Nephrectomy and radiographic progression-free survival time (excluding nephrectomies that were performed for non-protocol specified reasons) is defined as time from randomization to the date of first radiographic progression, nephrectomy performed for protocol-stated reasons, death, or last negative evaluation (censored). nrPFS2 rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression is determined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria modified for immunotherapy trials (iRECIST).
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Overall survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of death or last known follow-up (censored). Overall survival rates are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Second-line therapy-free survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Second-line therapy-free survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of the initiation of second-line therapy, death, or last known follow-up (censored). Second-line therapy-free survival rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Percentage of participants who undergo cytoreductive nephrectomy [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]
- Treatment-free survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Treatment-free survival time is defined as time from the discontinuation of protocol therapy to the date of death or last follow-up (censored). Treatment-free survival rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Percentage of participants with grade 3+ and with grade 4+ treatment-related adverse events [ Time Frame: From randomization to last follow-up, up to 8 years ]Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 5.0 grades adverse event severity from 1=mild to 5=death. Adverse events recorded as possibly, probably, or definitely related to protocol treatment will be considered to be treatment-related.
