What Is Alymsys?
Alymsys (bevacizumab-maly) is a cancer medicine that inhibits tumor growth by limiting the blood supply that cancer cells need to grow and spread. This cancer-targeted drug is typically prescribed to treat various types of cancer, including brain tumors, colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, and many other forms of cancer.
In 2022, Alymsys was approved in the United States as a 生物仿制药 到 Avastin (a branded drug) because it works the same way as Avastin (bevacizumab) but is less expensive than the brand drug.
Alymsys is given as an IV infusion. You may experience high blood pressure, headache, or nosebleed during treatment with Alymsys. Read on to learn its uses, how it works, recommended dosage, possible side effects, and precautionary measures.
Alymsys: FDA-Approved Uses
Alymsys is approved to treat adult patients with any of the following types of cancers:
- Metastatic colorectal cancer
- Persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer
- Metastatic or advanced non-small cell lung cancer
- Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer)
- Recurrent glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor)
- Ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
Alymsys can be given alone or together with other anticancer treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Alymsys: Working Mechanism
Alymsys (bevacizumab-maly) is a monoclonal antibody and belongs to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor drug class. This monoclonal antibody (bevacizumab-maly) is specifically designed to target and block the VEGF activity.
VEGF is a protein that is released by cancer cells to create new blood vessels within the tumor. These blood vessels provide the tumor with nutrients and oxygen to grow and spread rapidly.
When Alymsys is infused in the body, it blocks the VEGF activity. As a result, tumor growth slows down due to limited blood supply.
