Monograph
L01FG01 - Bevacizumab |
Not porphyrinogenic |
NP |
Rationale
No CYP-affinity. No conceivable effects on PXR activation. However, side effects such as nausea and vomiting may be potentially porphyrinogenic through reduction in caloric intake.
Chemical description
Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody.
Therapeutic characteristics
Bevacizumab is an antineoplastic agent used in the treatment of colorectal cancer with metastases, breast cancer with metastases, advanced lung cancer with metastases. It is administered by IV infusion. Common adverse reactions of bevacizumab that can be confused with an acute porphyric attack are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, and muscle weakness. Side effects such as nausea and vomiting may be potentially porphyrinogenic through reduction in caloric intake.
Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
The metabolism and elimination of bevacizumab is similar to endogenous IgG i.e. primarily via proteolytic catabolism throughout the body, including endothelial cells, and does not rely primarily on elimination through the kidneys and liver.
IPNet drug reports
Uneventful use reported in 1 patient with acute porphyria.

Tradenames and packages
From some sources, we get a list of packages (United Kingdom, Ireland, Estonia).
Other sources contain more or less "clean" versions of the trade name (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway).
What you see here is the raw data we get from each country, so there will appear to be duplicates. The bold names
are the searchable terms. The gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.
Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors.
We strive to improve it continuously.
