Details and patient eligibility

About

Aim of the FavorAx study is to evaluate preliminary efficacy and safety of Axitinib in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients with favorable IMDC prognostic factors who had progressed on sunitinib or pazopanib in the first-line setting.

Full description

Axitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α, and c-kit. The trial of comparative effectiveness of axitinib versus sorafenib in advanced renal cell carcinoma (AXIS) was an international randomized Phase III study designed for registration purposes. This trial randomized 723 metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients with any prognostic features to axitinib or sorafenib in the second-line setting and demonstrated significant clinical benefit of axitinib.

Aim of present FavorAx study is to evaluate preliminary efficacy and safety of Axitinib in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients with favorable IMDC prognostic factors who had progressed on sunitinib or pazopanib in the first-line setting.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Principle Inclusion Criteria:

Histologic confirmation of Renal cell carcinoma with a clear cell component
Patients must have measurable disease
Previous treatment with sunitinib or pazopanib
Favorable prognosis according to IMDC criteria
Must have available tumor tissue for submission
Subjects must also meet various laboratory parameters for inclusion
Patients must give written informed consent prior to initiation of therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

Any underlying medical condition, which in the opinion of the Investigator, will make the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the interpretation of adverse events
Patients who have history of uncompensated diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or render the subject at high risk from treatment complications.
