Mode Of Action

Bevacizumab binds to VEGF, the key driver of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and thereby inhibits the binding of VEGF to its receptors, Flt-1 (VEGFR-1) and KDR (VEGFR-2), on the surface of endothelial cells. Neutralising the biological activity of VEGF reduces the vascularisation of tumours, normalises remaining tumour vasculature and inhibits the formation of new tumour vasculature thereby inhibiting tumour growth.

Interaction

Irinotecan/5–fluorouracil/leucovorin The incidence of epistaxis and grade 1 or 2 hemorrhage (including GI hemorrhage, minor gum bleeding, vaginal hemorrhage) was greater in patients receiving bevacizumab plus irinotecan/5-fluorouracil/leucovorin compared with patients receiving irinotecan/5-fluorouracil/leucovorin plus placebo. Closely monitor the patient during coadministration. Live vaccines The administration of live vaccines to patients receiving bevacizumab may result in a reduced immune response. Avoid coadministration. Paclitaxel Decreased paclitaxel exposure was seen when paclitaxel/carboplatin was given in combination with bevacizumab. Closely monitor the patient during coadministration. Sunitinib Coadministration of bevacizumab and sunitinib has been reported to cause unexpected severe toxicity (eg, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia). Coadministration of sunitinib and bevacizumab is not recommended.
