Cheaper cancer drug alternative under Real-World scrutiny
NCT ID NCT06808685
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is tracking how well a biosimilar drug called Elovie (a copy of bevacizumab) works for people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers will follow 133 patients in Brazil who are receiving Elovie as their first treatment, measuring how long they stay on the drug before needing a switch and how long they live. The goal is to see if this more affordable option performs as expected in real-world hospital settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bevacizumab biosimilar (Elovie)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that Elovie works as well as the original bevacizumab for treating metastatic colorectal cancer in everyday clinical practice.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. It is also limited to the Brazilian population, so findings may not apply elsewhere.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants of both sexes aged 18 years or older at the start of treatment with bevacizumab; * Participants diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer, clinical stage IV, unresectable, by clinical definition in medical records, according to the investigator's assessment at the initial consultation and before any type of palliative treatment; * Participants who are undergoing first-line treatment with Elovie and who have completed at least 1 cycle of treatment or participants who have started first-line treatment with another bevacizumab (reference or another biosimilar other than Elovie) but who have currently switched to Elovie and completed at least 1 cycle of treatment with it, and whose data is available at the institution participating in the study; * Participants with the capacity to understand and consent to their participation in the study through the Free and Informed Consent Form Exclusion Criteria: * Participants who use or have used bevacizumab in a manner different from that described in the current version of the Elovie® package insert; * Participants who have been treated with Elovie for a period longer than 12 treatment cycles; * Participants who have started first-line treatment with another bevacizumab (reference or another biosimilar other than Elovie) and have completed more than 2 treatment cycles with it; * Participants with a concomitant diagnosis of another active malignant neoplasm other than metastatic colorectal cancer.
