* Has undergone complete resection of the primary tumor (partial or radical nephrectomy) and complete resection of solid, isolated, soft tissue metastatic lesion(s) in M1 NED participants.
* Must have undergone a nephrectomy and/or metastasectomy ≤12 weeks prior to randomization and recovered from surgery and any post-operative complications before randomization.
