Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets VEGF-A and inhibits tumor angiogenesis. Bevacizumab is approved for the treatment of various cancer, including metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and others. Thus, it is widely used in oncology, but contrary to other therapeutic classes, there is still a lack of validating predictive factors for treatment outcomes with these agents. In recent years, the research for factors predictive of anti-VEGF treatments and especially bevacizumab response has been one of the most competitive translational research fields. Herein, we review and present the available literature of the clinical use of biomarkers, pharmacogenomics (PG), and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) approaches that can be used for the optimization of bevacizumab use in the era of precision medicine.
贝伐单抗是一种靶向血管内皮生长因子A(VEGF-A)并抑制肿瘤血管生成的单克隆抗体。贝伐单抗被批准用于治疗多种癌症,包括转移性结直肠癌(mCRC)、卵巢癌、肺癌等。因此,它在肿瘤学中被广泛应用,但与其他治疗类别不同的是,目前仍缺乏用于验证这些药物治疗效果的预测因素。近年来,对抗VEGF治疗尤其是贝伐单抗反应的预测因素研究一直是最具竞争力的转化研究领域之一。在此,我们回顾并介绍了生物标志物、药物基因组学(PG)和治疗药物监测(TDM)方法在临床应用中的现有文献,这些方法可用于在精准医学时代优化贝伐单抗的使用。
