Hemodiafiltration and plasma levels of axitinib in a patient with metastatic renal clear cell carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: The observed axitinib concentrations were at least an order of magnitude lower than expected based on the literature and measurements in other patients. The present case report indicates a potential risk of axitinib underdosing in patients on hemodiafiltration with the standard dose; therefore, drug dosage may need to be corrected based on the plasma levels of axitinib.
