Aim:
Assess the time-to-treatment discontinuation (TTD) and overall survival (OS) in a Swedish metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) nationwide cohort who received second-line axitinib.
Methods:
Retrospective analysis of 110 patients with mRCC treated with second-line axitinib in Sweden (2012–2019). Patients included in the study received axitinib after mainly first-line sunitinib or pazopanib.
Results:
The median (95% CI) TTD of patients who received second-line axitinib was 5.2 (3.7–6.1) months with 6 (5.5%) patients still receiving treatment at the time of analysis. Median (95% CI) OS was 12.2 (7.7–14.2) months.
Conclusion:
The results are consistent with previous findings in mRCC and add to the evidence demonstrating efficacy of second-line axitinib, after failure of a prior anti-angiogenic therapy in a real-world setting.
