NCT ID NCT03390673
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested a new biosimilar drug called HD204 against the original Avastin in 119 healthy men. The goal was to see if the body processes both drugs the same way. Participants received a single dose, and researchers measured drug levels and safety. The trial is complete, but it only looked at healthy volunteers, not patients with disease.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bevacizumab (HD204, a biosimilar version of Avastin)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that HD204 works similarly to Avastin, potentially offering a more affordable treatment option for conditions like cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only checks how the drug moves through the body, not if it treats disease. Results may not predict real-world effectiveness or safety.
