In pooled data from 8000 patients across 15 studies, the risk of blood clots was increased by 12% in patients receiving Avastin.
The FDA required Amgen to revise the label for Procrit and Aranesp so that these agents are not used until a patient's hemoglobin drops below 10 or in the setting of potentially curative therapy.
The author argues that transparency in healthcare will be an important step forward for the consumer.
Avastin improves survival in colon cancer and lung cancer and improves progression free survival in breast cancer- clinically meaningful outcomes. Yet these gains are of relatively short duration and the cost of Avastin is significant- 50,000 to 100,000 dollars per year.
NICE has stated that the cost of several novel agents for the treatment of renal cell cancer including Sutent, Torisel, Avastin, and Nexavar exceeds the benefit when assessed by quality adjusted life years (QALY) gained from the therapies.
