Purpose: Generic versions of bevacizumab are commonly used in India in patients with advanced/metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRCs), but there is limited real-world evidence (RWE) about their efficacy in comparison to the innovator bevacizumab.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with mCRC between January 2017 and January 2022 and receiving a combination of chemotherapy and bevacizumab were retrospectively analyzed for demographic variables and survivals. The primary endpoint of the study was the estimation and comparison of median progression-free survival (mPFS) between patients receiving innovator versus generic bevacizumab as first-line therapy (CT1) by the Kaplan-Meier method.

Objective: After patent expiry of the bevacizumab originator product, several biosimilars were approved by the European Medicines Agency. In centralised preparation units, product-specific in-use stability data must be considered. Based on the available data, stability information was missing for the concentrate for solution of the bevacizumab biosimilar CT-P16 (Vegzelma, Celltrion) after first opening and prolonged storage.

Background: Intravitreal bevacizumab has been used off-label to treat multiple ocular conditions for almost two decades. Reference bevacizumab, Avastin, was discontinued in Australia in 2021. A bevacizumab biosimilar, MVASI, was approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration for the treatment of metastatic cancer in 2020.

Background: Biosimilars to originator bevacizumab (Avastin), such as bevacizumab-bvzr (Zirabev), can deliver substantial savings and/or expanded access to biologic therapy for patients with metastatic colorectal (mCRC) and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). The objective of this study is to explore the cost-efficiency and budget-neutral expanded access of bevacizumab-bvzr in mCRC and mNSCLC in Medicare.
Methods: We developed a Medicare payer perspective simulation model of patients treated for mCRC and mNSCLC to estimate cost-savings from converting bevacizumab (originator) to bevacizumab-bvzr or alternative biosimilars such as bevacizumab-awwb, -maly, and -abcd.
