Bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech Inc.) is a humanized, monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits the biologic activity of the vascular endothelial growth factor. It is approved for use as a first-line treatment of patients with unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Bevacizumab has also been investigated as second-line therapy in patients with NSCLC who have failed other therapies.
