This phase II trial tests the effect of botensilimab and balstilimab before surgery (neoadjuvant) in treating patients with high-risk clear cell renal cell cancer that has not spread from where it first started to other areas of the body (non-metastatic). The current standard treatment for patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer may include surgery to completely remove the tumor. This typically involves removing the kidney or part of the kidney (nephrectomy). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as botensilimab and balstilimab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving neoadjuvant botensilimab and balstilimab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with high-risk non-metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer before undergoing a nephrectomy.
