This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of investigational drugs to learn whether the drugs work in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are antibodies (a type of human protein) that work to stimulate your body's immune system to fight tumor cells. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved nivolumab as a treatment option for this disease; however, the FDA has not approved the way nivolumab and ipilimumab are being administered in this study. Ipilimumab is FDA approved for the treatment of melanoma (skin cancer) and has been previously studied in renal cell cancer. This study is being done to evaluate nivolumab treatment strategies based on each patients individual response to treatment. In participants who have a response to treatment, nivolumab will be stopped and participants will be closely monitored. In participants who do not have a response to treatment,the investigators will investigate whether the addition of ipilimumab improves a participant response to treatment. Participant blood and tissue samples will be collected to learn about how certain biomarkers and genes relate to participant outcomes.
