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, a key signaling protein that promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth). By neutralizing VEGF, the drug inhibits the formation of new blood vessels that tumors require to grow and metastasize. This anti-angiogenic mechanism reduces tumor perfusion and can slow or halt tumor progression.
