Aurobindo Pharma Ltd announced on December 21 that its subsidiary CuraTeQ Biologics s.r.o. has received marketing authorisation from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for Bevqolva, a biosimilar of bevacizumab. Bevqolva, a 25 mg/mL concentrate for infusion, will be available in single-use vials of 4 mL (100 mg) and 16 mL (400 mg) for intravenous administration.
Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody widely used in oncology for the treatment of several cancers, including metastatic colorectal cancer, recurrent or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma, cervical cancer, and epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers.
This approval marks a significant milestone for CuraTeQ and expands the availability of affordable, high-quality biologics in the UK, addressing a critical need in cancer care. Aurobindo Pharma shared the update through a regulatory filing.
