response or partial response, confirmation not required) as determined by investigator per
RECIST v1.1
DOR, defined as the time from the first documented response to documented disease
progression as determined by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause,
whichever occurs first

Inclution Criteria
Patients must meet the following criteria for study entry:
Signed Informed Consent Form
Unresectable advanced or metastatic RCC with clear-cell histology and/or sarcomatoid
carcinoma (defined below)
Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is defined as any histologic type of renal cell
carcinoma containing a foci of high-grade malignant spindle cells encompassing
20% of the area relative to the entire tumor area. (See the protocol for further
guidelines regarding defining sarcomatoid histology.)
Evaluable MSKCC risk score (i.e., “Motzer” score)
All MSKCC risk scores are included
Patients with good risk MSKCC (risk score 0) will comprise no more than 20% of the
study population
Definitive diagnosis of RCC on the basis of a representative, formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded tumor specimen accompanied by an associated pathology report
collected within 24 months prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 available at the study site that allows
determination of PD-L1 expression status (IC) (required prior to randomization)
The archival specimen must contain adequate viable tumor tissue to establish PD-L1
expression status by a central laboratory prior to randomization.
The specimen may consist of a tissue block (preferred) or at least 15 unstained,
serial sections.
Fine-needle aspiration, brushing, cell pellet from pleural effusion, bone metastases,
and lavage samples are not acceptable. For core needle biopsy specimens, at least
three cores embedded into a single paraffin block should be submitted for evaluation.
Tumor tissue from bone metastases is not evaluable for PD-L1 expression and is
therefore not acceptable.
If the archival tissue was acquired 24 months prior to Cycle 1, Day 1, the patient may
still be eligible provided the patient is willing to consent to and undergo a pre-treatment
core or excisional biopsy of the tumor. If the location of the tumor renders the tumor
biopsy medically unsafe, eligibility may be provided with Medical Monitor approval. A
local analysis to confirm the diagnosis of RCC is required.
Measurable disease, as defined by RECIST v1.1
Age 18 years
Karnofsky performance status 70
Ability and capacity to comply with study and follow-up procedures
Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, defined by the following laboratory results
obtained within 28 calendar days prior to the first study treatment:
ANC 1500 cells/L (without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support within
2 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
WBC counts 2500/L
Lymphocyte count 300/L
Platelet count 100,000/L (without transfusion within 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1)
Hemoglobin 9.0 g/dL
AST,ALT, and alkaline phosphatase 2.5theupperlimit ofnormal(ULN), with
the following exceptions:
Patients with documented liver metastases: AST andALT 5ULN
Patients with documented liver or bone metastases: alkaline phosphatase
5ULN
Serumbilirubin1.5ULN
Patients with known Gilbert disease who have serum bilirubin level 3
ULNmaybeenrolled.
INR and aPTT 1.5ULN, unless on a stable dose of
warfarinSerum albumin2.5g/dL
Creatinine clearance 30 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula or based on 24-hour urine
collection)
For women who are not postmenopausal ( 12 months of non-therapy-induced amenorrhea)
or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus): agreement to remain abstinent or
use single or combined contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of 1% per year
during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of MPDL3280A or
bevacizumab, or at least 30 days after the last dose of sunitinib.
Abstinence is only acceptable if it is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the
patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or
postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of 1% per year include tubal
ligation, male sterilization, hormonal implants, established, proper use of combined
oral or injected hormonal contraceptives, and certain intrauterine devices. Alternatively,
two methods (e.g., two barrier methods such as a condom and a cervical cap) may be
combined to achieve a failure rate of 1% per year. Barrier methods must always be
supplemented with the use of a spermicide.
