NCT ID NCT04941768

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study looked at how well avelumab (BAVENCIO) plus axitinib (INLYTA) works for advanced kidney cancer in everyday medical practice. Researchers tracked 105 patients across multiple EU countries to see survival rates at 12 and 24 months. The goal was to understand the treatment's effectiveness and safety outside of controlled clinical trials.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

avelumab (BAVENCIO) and axitinib (INLYTA)

What this could lead to

If results are positive, this could confirm that the combination is effective for advanced kidney cancer in real-world settings, supporting its use as a standard first-line therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. The small size (105 participants) and lack of a comparison group limit how much we can conclude.
