**Can be decreased to 400 mg PO once per day or 400 mg PO every other day if needed due to toxicity

1In the 2016 update, there was no difference in OS, which was a secondary endpoint. Reported efficacy here is from the primary (2013) analysis.

Targeted therapy

  • Axitinib (Inlyta) as follows:
    • Starting dose: 5 mg PO twice per day for at least 2 weeks
    • Then if tolerated and BP not greater than 150/90: 7 mg PO twice per day
    • Then if tolerated and BP not greater than 150/90: 10 mg PO twice per day
    • Dose can be reduced to 2 to 3 mg PO twice per day if needed based on tolerability

Continued indefinitely

1In the 2016 update to A4061051, there was no difference in OS, which was a secondary endpoint. Reported efficacy here is from the primary (2013) analysis.

Targeted therapy

  • Sorafenib (Nexavar) 400 mg PO twice per day
    • Can be decreased to 400 mg PO once per day or 400 mg PO every other day if needed due to toxicity

Continued indefinitely

Subsequent treatment

1Reported efficacy is based on the 2013 update. In this update, ORR was 23% in this arm, and 12% in the control arm. There was no statistically significant difference in overall survival.

Prior treatment criteria

  • AXIS: Progression on first-line therapy containing sunitinib, bevacizumab plus interferon-alfa, temsirolimus, or cytokines

Targeted therapy

  • Axitinib (Inlyta) as follows:
    • Starting dose: 5 mg PO twice per day for at least 2 weeks
    • Then if tolerated and BP not greater than 150/90: 7 mg PO twice per day
    • Then if tolerated and BP not greater than 150/90: 10 mg PO twice per day
    • Dose can be reduced to 2 to 3 mg PO twice per day if needed based on tolerability

Continued indefinitely

1Reported efficacy for TARGET is based on the 2009 update.
2While the primary endpoint (PFS) was not met in INTORSECT, the control arm actually had superior OS compared to the experimental arm.

Prior treatment criteria

  • TARGETRCC: 1 systemic treatment within the previous 8 months, with progression
  • INTORSECT: Progression on sunitinib
  • AXIS: Progression on first-line therapy containing sunitinib, bevacizumab plus interferon-alfa, temsirolimus, or cytokines

Targeted therapy

  • Sorafenib (Nexavar) 400 mg PO twice per day
    • Can be decreased to 400 mg PO once per day or 400 mg PO every other day if needed due to toxicity

Continued indefinitely
