- Tumor tissue biomarker status (ie, positive or negative based on, for example, PD L1 expression and/or quantitation of tumor mutational burden as well as characterization of the immune repertoire in peripheral blood and/or tumor) [ Time Frame: Screening and optional tumor biopsies obtained upon disease progression. Baseline up to approximately 42 months. ]Archived tumor tissue samples and de novo biopsies of primary and/or metastatic lesions. Tumor tissue biomarker status (ie, positive or negative based on, for example, PD L1 expression and/or quantitation of tumor mutational burden as well as characterization of the immune repertoire in peripheral blood and/or tumor).

- Duration of Response (DR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 42 months ]Duration of Response (DR), is defined as the time from the first documentation of objective response [complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)] to the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 42 months ]Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of axitinib [ Time Frame: 2-4 hours post dose Cycle 1 Day 15 and Cycle 2 Day 1 and Day 15 (each cycle is 28 days) ]Cmax defined as the maximum plasma concentration of axitinib
- Predose Concentration (Ctrough) of avelumab [ Time Frame: Pre dose Cycle 1 Day 1 and Day 15, Cycle 2 Day 1 and Day 15 of Cycles 3, 6, 9, and 12 (each cycle is 28 days) ]Ctrough is defined as the concentration at the end of avelumab dosage interval

- Urothelial Cancer (UC) Cohort: Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urothelium (if mixed, more than 50% TCC component) including bladder, urethra, ureters, or renal pelvis that is locally advanced or metastatic; No prior systemic treatment for locally advanced or metastatic disease; Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy is permitted if disease progression occurred >12 months after the completion of therapy; Checkpoint inhibitor naïve; Ineligible for receiving cisplatin-containing front-line chemotherapy based at least one of the following criteria: ECOG performance status (PS) 2; Renal dysfunction (defined as creatinine-clearance <60 ml/min); Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy; Grade 2 hearing loss (hearing loss measured by audiometry of 25 decibels at two contiguous frequencies).
- At least 1 measurable lesion by RECIST v1.1 not previously irradiated.
- Availability of an archival FFPE tumor tissue block from primary diagnosis specimen or metastatic specimen or 15 unstained slides (10 minimum). If an archived sample is not available, a fresh tumor biopsy must be performed.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. For UC patients, ECOG performance 2 is permitted (cisplatin ineligibility criterion)

- Newly diagnosed brain metastases or known symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids.
- Radiologically documented evidence of major blood vessel invasion or encasement by cancer or intratumor cavitation, regardless of tumor histology.
