Following first-line treatment progression in metastatic renal carcinoma, different options for second-line treatment are available, with axitinib being one of them. The objective of this article is to evaluate the results of Axitinib in a real practice setting. METHODS: From December 2011 to October 2016, we treated 19 patients with CCRM with Axitinib, 3 patients in third line and 16 patients in second line after progression on Sunitinib or Pazopanib. We performed a retrospective study of the last 16 patients, analyzing the effectiveness and safety of the drug. RESULTS: The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9 months and the median overall survival with 8 dead patients was 59 months. Overall, toxicity by Axitinib was very common, diarrhea 87.5%, asthenia 75%, dysphonia 56.25%, hypertension 37.5% and anorexia 37.5%, although most are grade 1-2 toxicities controlled with hygiene-diet measures and treatment recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: Axitinib is a drug that has been shown to increase PFS after 1st line progression, with a tolerable toxic profile. With the approval of nivolumab and cabozantinib, the place of Axitinib in sequential therapy is yet to be defined.
