Study summary

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.

Read the detailed 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.

Eligibility criteria

Principle Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologic confirmation of Renal cell carcinoma with a clear cell component
  • Patients must have
  • 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 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 drug or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or render the subject at high risk from treatment complications.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2016 to primary completion in Jun 2018, 29 months.

Of 183 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Carcinoma, Renal Cell, half reached primary completion within 67 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 41 and three quarters within 98. This study's 29 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 230 studies reached it within 58 months; a quarter within 33 and three quarters within 94.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 22, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
