WHAT ALYMSYS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Alymsys contains the active substance bevacizumab, which is a
humanised monoclonal antibody (a
type of protein that is normally made by the immune system to help
defend the body from infection
and cancer). Bevacizumab binds selectively to a protein called human
vascular endothelial growth
factor (VEGF), which is found on the lining of blood and lymph vessels
in the body. The VEGF
protein causes blood vessels to grow within tumours, these blood
vessels provide the tumour with
nutrients and oxygen. Once bevacizumab is bound to VEGF, tumour growth
is prevented by blocking
the growth of the blood vessels which provide the nutrients and oxygen
to the tumour.
Alymsys is a medicine used for the treatment of adult patients with
advanced cancer in the large
bowel, i.e., in the colon or rectum. Alymsys will be administered in
combination with chemotherapy
treatment containing a fluoropyrimidine medicine.
Alymsys is also used for the treatment of adult patients with
metastatic breast cancer. Whe
