The challenge of treatment in mRCC
• Benefits of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are well established;
however, there are limitations
– There are few complete responses
– Initial partial responses are followed by progression
– In other cases there is no objective benefit
• Drug resistance remains an ongoing obstacle to successful
treatment of mRCC
– Limits the success of therapy and reduces survival rates

Disrupting Tumour Progression
Axitinib comprehensively disrupts tumour progression by inhibiting the
VEGF receptor signalling system.

Axitinib is a Selective Inhibitor of VEGF Receptors 1, 2, 3
Selective Inhibitor
• Low IC50 indicates higher
affinity.
• Axitinib inhibits VEGF
receptors 1, 2, and 3 at
picomolar concentrations,
suggesting potent and
highly selective activity
against these receptors.

Decreasing VEGFR-2 in Animal Models
Axitinib Decreases VEGFR-2 in Animal Models
• Blockade of VEGFR-2 may
lead to a decrease in MVD
and blood flow.
• Significant reductions in
intensity of VEGFR-2 and
VEGFR-3 of
RIP-Tag2† tumour vessels
after 7 days of axitinib
treatment

Reduces Tumour Blood Vessels
Axitinib Reduces the Number of Tumour Blood Vessels
• Axitinib reduced MVD and normalised tumour vasculature in 7 days
– Withdrawal resulted in regrowth of vessels.

Decreasing Tumour Blood Flow
Axitinib Decreases Tumour Blood Flow
• Axitinib rapidly decreases tumour blood vessel patency,
blood flow, and vessel number within 24 hours of exposure.

one of the initial
processes associated
with angiogenesis.

Reflexiones
ASPECTOS POSITIVOS
• Estudio Fase III
randomizado.
• Estudio PURO de 2ª línea.
• Mediana PFS: 6.7 meses
• TR: 19%
• Tolerancia similar Tki
• Baja tasa de discontinuación
ASPECTOS ????
• 45% de los pacientes no
recibieron sunitinib.
• En pre-Sunit, PFS: 4.8 meses
• ¿Porqué tanta discrepancia
entre IRC e investigadores?
• ¿Porqué dar la opción de
incrementar la dosis?
Conclusiones
- Axitinib es un nuevo inhibidor de tirosina quinasa de alto poder
inhibitorio
sobre
VEGFR
1,
2
y
3.
- En el contexto de la segunda línea, y en comparación con
sorafenib, prolonga la SLP de forma significativa.
- Axitinib presenta un perfil de tolerabilidad semejante a otros Tki
(hipertensión, hipotiroidismo) pero, en comparación con
sorafenib,
presenta
menos
SMP,
rash
y
alopecia.
- Axitinib se postula como una alterantiva terapéutica en el
contexto
de
la
segunda
línea
del
CCRm.
