Patients with advanced or metastatic unclassified renal cell carcinoma with medullary phenotype (a rare SMARCB1 negative RMC variant occurring in individuals without sickle hemoglobinopathies) are also eligible
• Patients will be eligible regardless of whether they have had prior nephrectomy or still have their primary tumor in-situ
• Patients must have at least one measurable site of disease, defined as a lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) and measures ≥ 15 mm with conventional techniques or ≥ 10 mm with more sensitive techniques such as MRI or CT scan. If the patient has had previous radiation to the marker lesion(s), there must be evidence of progression since the radiation
• Patients must have progressed on at least one line of prior therapy
• There must be evidence of progression on or after last treatment regimen received
• Easter Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1 * NOTE: If patient is unable to walk due to paralysis, but is mobile in a wheelchair, patient is considered to be ambulatory for the purpose of assessing their performance status
• Age (at the time of consent/assent): ≥ 18 years
• Consent to MD Anderson companion laboratory protocols LAB02-152, PA17-0577 and PA11-1045
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl (treatment allowed) * May receive transfusion within the screening period
• Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/uL * Without growth factor support (filgrastim or pegfilgrastim) for at least 14 days
• Platelets ≥ 100,000/uL
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dl
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT]) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), except in known hepatic metastasis, wherein may be ≤ 5 x ULN
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (eGFR) > 30 mL/kg/1.73 m^2 by Cockcroft-Gault methods or local institutional standard
• International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
• Patients with controlled brain metastases are allowed on protocol if the brain metastases were surgically resected or treated with radiosurgery or Gamma knife, and are radiologically stable without recurrence or edema for at least 1 month (4 weeks) as confirmed by repeat imaging performed during study screening. Patients actively requiring glucocorticoids for uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases are not eligible
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]) within 24 hours prior to the start of the study drug
• Women must not be breastfeeding
• WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception from the time of registration for treatment for the duration of treatment with study drug (s) plus 5 half-lives of study drug (s) plus 30 days (duration of ovulatory cycle) for a total of 5 months post treatment completion. Men must agree to effective contraception from the time of registration for treatment to 210 days post last protocol treatment * Investigators shall counsel WOCBP and male patients who are sexually active with WOCBP on the importance of pregnancy prevention and the implications of an unexpected pregnancy Investigators shall advise WOCBP and male patients who are sexually active with WOCBP on the use of highly effective methods of contraception. Highly effective methods of contraception have a failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly * Approved methods of birth control are as follows: Hormonal contraception (i.e. birth control pills, injection, implant, transdermal patch, vaginal ring), intrauterine device (IUD), tubal ligation or hysterectomy, patient/partner post vasectomy, implantable or injectable contraceptives, and condoms plus spermicide. Not engaging in sexual activity for the total duration of the trial and the drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately * Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 120 days after completion of sacituzumab tirumotecan administration: ** Refrain from donating sperm ** Uses a penile/external condom when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a nonparticipant of childbearing potential who is not currently pregnant PLUS partner use of an additional contraceptive method, as a condom may break or leak * The effects of sacituzumab tirumotecan on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because immunotherapy agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. This includes all female patients, between the onset of menses (as early as 8 years of age) and 55 years unless the patient presents with an applicable exclusionary factor which may be one of the following: ** Postmenopausal (no menses in greater than or equal to 12 consecutive months) ** History of hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy ** Ovarian failure (follicle stimulating hormone and estradiol in menopausal range, who have received whole pelvic radiation therapy) ** History of bilateral tubal ligation or another surgical sterilization procedure
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

• Patients currently receiving anticancer therapies or who have received anticancer therapies (including chemotherapy and targeted therapies such as tazemetostat) within 2 weeks (14 days) prior to study day 1 are excluded. Patients who have completed palliative radiation therapy more than 14 days prior to the first dose of the combination immunotherapy are eligible

If serum HBV DNA PCR is below the limit of detection periodic monitoring of HBsAg must be performed every 12 months +/- 3 months * Patients who are hepatitis C virus antibody positive (HCV Ab +) who have controlled infection (undetectable hepatitis virus C [HCV] ribonucleic acid [RNA] by PCR either spontaneously or in response to a successful prior course of anti-HCV therapy) are permitted

• Patients must not have history of other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of sacituzumab tirumotecan or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications
• Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated live vaccines within 30 days of planned start of study medication * Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist, registered trademark) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed
