WHAT EQUIDACENT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Equidacent 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.
ADVANCED CANCER IN THE LARGE BOWEL
Equidacent is a medicine used for the treatment of adult patients with
advanced cancer in the large
bowel, i.e., in the colon or rectum. Equidacent will be administered
in combination with chemotherapy
treatment
