Background: \- Adrenocortical carcinoma is an aggressive cancer that starts in the adrenal gland at the top of the kidneys. It has a low survival rate if standard treatment options are not effective. Axitinib is an experimental drug that is being studied to determine if it can stop tumors from growing or make them smaller. Researchers are interested in investigating axitinib in individuals with aggressive or otherwise untreatable adrenocortical cancer. Objectives: \- To evaluate the effectiveness of axitinib in individuals who have adrenocortical cancer that is inoperable and has not responded to standard treatments. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with adrenocortical cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: * Participants will be screened with a full physical examination and medical history, as well as tumor imaging studies. * Participants may have a tumor biopsy prior to starting axitinib. * All participants will receive axitinib to take twice a day with food for 28 days (1 cycle). Participants should not drink grapefruit juice or smoke cigarettes while participating in this study. * After the first cycle, the dose may be increased and additional cycles will be given if the treatment has not had serious side effects. * Participants will have regular examinations while taking axitinib, including blood samples and tumor imaging studies to determine if the tumor has stopped growing. Blood pressure levels will be carefully monitored during treatment to evaluate potential risk for high blood pressure. * Participants may have a second tumor biopsy 20 to 30 days after treatment begins. * Treatment will continue as directed by the study researchers.
