Axitinib, sold under the brand name Inlyta, is a small molecule
It was approved to treat renal cell carcinoma by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after showing a modest increase in progression-free survival,[6] though there have been reports of fatal adverse effects.[7]
Approvals and indications
Renal cell carcinoma
It has received approval for use as a treatment for renal cell carcinoma from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (27 January 2012), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) (13 September 2012), the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) (3 September 2012) and the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) (26 July 2012).[1][8][9][10]
Clinical trials
A Phase II clinical trial showed good response in combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer.[11] However, Pfizer reported on January 30, 2009, that Phase III clinical trials of the drug when used in combination with gemcitabine showed no evidence of improved survival rates over treatments using gemcitabine alone for advanced pancreatic cancer and halted the trial.[12]
In 2010, a Phase III trial for previously treated metastatic
It has also been studied in combination with the
A study published in 2015
Adverse effects
Diarrhea, hypertension, fatigue, decreased appetite, nausea, dysphonia,
Interactions
Coadministration with strong CYP3A4/CYP3A5 inhibitors and inducers should be avoided where possible as they may increase or reduce plasma exposure of axitinib, respectively. [18]
Mechanism of action
Its primary mechanism of action is thought to be
It was also proposed that it might act by inducing autophagy, as some other tyrosine kinase inhibitors, like sorafenib.[20]
It has also been shown[16] to bind (in a different conformation from the VEGF binding) to the BCR-ABL fusion protein, specifically inhibiting the drug-resistant T315I mutant isoform.
