Bevacizumab experimental

Institut de Recherches Internationales Servier · Phase 3 active Biologic Under review

Bevacizumab experimental is a VEGF inhibitor (monoclonal antibody) Biologic drug developed by Institut de Recherches Internationales Servier. It is currently in Phase 3 development for Metastatic colorectal cancer, Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, Metastatic breast cancer.

Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and reducing blood supply to cancer cells.

Bevacizumab is an antibody that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor A, a protein involved in tumor growth and angiogenesis. It is used to treat various types of cancer, including metastatic colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma, among others.

Likelihood of approval
61.3% vs 58.3% industry baseline
If approved by FDA: likely 2028–2030
Steps remaining: NDA/BLA submission
Confidence: High
Why this estimate
  • Baseline phase 3 → approval rate +58.3pp
    Industry-wide phase 3 drugs reach approval ~58.3% of the time (BIO/Informa 2023 industry benchmark across all therapeutic areas).
  • Oncology Phase 3 boost +3.0pp
    Oncology Phase 3 trials have higher approval rates (~61%) than the cross-industry average due to clearer endpoints and FDA oncology pathway.
Predicted approval windows by jurisdiction (conditional on FDA approval)

Mechanism of action

Bevacizumab binds to circulating VEGF, preventing its interaction with VEGF receptors on endothelial cells. This inhibits the formation of new blood vessels that tumors require for growth and metastasis. By starving tumors of their blood supply, bevacizumab slows tumor progression and enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy.
