This phase II trial studies how well an investigational scan called 89Zr-girentuximab positron emission tomography (PET) works in detecting tumors that remain (residual or recurrent) after standard of care (SOC) ablation treatment among patients with clear cell kidney (renal cell) cancer (ccRCC). Ablation is a commonly used treatment for ccRCC that is minimally invasive and uses extreme temperatures to destroy kidney tumors. 89Zr-girentuximab is made up of the monoclonal antibody girentuximab plus the radioisotope zirconium Zr 89. It binds to a protein called carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), which is found on tumor cells. A PET scan is a procedure in which a radioactive substance (89Zr-girentuximab in this trial) is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the radioactive substance is taken up. 89Zr-girentuximab PET imaging may be effective in detecting residual or recurrent ccRCC after SOC ablation treatment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the feasibility of zirconium Zr 89 girentuximab (89Zr-girentuximab) PET for detection of residual or recurrent post-ablative tumor in patients with primary ccRCC.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To compare the 89Zr-girentuximab PET probe uptake in the primary ccRCC before and immediately after standard cryoablation.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish 89Zr-girentuximab PET imaging time point immediately after cryoablation in patients with primary ccRCC.
II. To correlate 89Zr-girentuximab PET uptake parameters with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and CAIX biomarker on gold standard histology in resected or biopsied post-ablative ccRCCs.
III. To correlate the 89Zr-girentuximab PET uptake values in the ablated ccRCCs with findings of follow-up conventional imaging over 7 months.
IV. To evaluate the safety of 89Zr-girentuximab in patients with ccRCC.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.
COHORT 1: Patients receive 89Zr-girentuximab intravenously (IV) over 3 minutes followed by PET/computed tomography (CT) scan 3-7 days later. Patients also undergo additional PET or CT scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening.
COHORT 2: Patients receive 89Zr-girentuximab IV over 3 minutes followed by a PET/CT scan 3-7 days later. Patients then receive 89Zr-girentuximab IV over 3 minutes followed by a PET/CT scan on the same day or up to 3 days after completion of standard of care (SOC) cryoablation procedure. Patients also undergo additional CT scans or MRI throughout the study.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at 10 days. Patients in Cohort 2 are also followed for 7 months after the cryoablation.
