approved_indications FDA-Approved Indications

MVASI (bevacizumab-awwb) is a vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor indicated for the treatment of:

Metastatic colorectal cancer, in combination with intravenous 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for first- or second-line treatment;

Metastatic colorectal cancer, in combination with fluoropyrimidine-irinotecan- or fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for second-line treatment in patients who have progressed on a first-line bevacizumab containing regimen;

Unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for first-line treatment;

Recurrent glioblastoma in adults;

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma in combination with interferon alfa;

Persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer, in combination with paclitaxel and cisplatin, or paclitaxel and topotecan;

Epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer: in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by Mvasi as a single agent, for stage III or IV disease following initial surgical resection; in combination with paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan for platinum-resistant recurrent disease who received no more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens; in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel or carboplatin and gemcitabine, followed by Mvasi as a single agent, for platinum-sensitive recurrent disease.
