Overview

Avelumab + axitinib is a combination therapy consisting of two distinct drugs used together for the first-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Avelumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), functioning as an immune checkpoint inhibitor to enhance anti-tumor immune responses. Axitinib is an oral small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR)-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3, thereby blocking angiogenesis and tumor growth. The combination was approved based on clinical trial data showing significant improvements in progression-free survival and objective response rates compared to standard therapies in patients with advanced RCC[1][2][3][5].
