Abstract:
Bevacizumab is a full-length humanized murine monoclonal anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) IgG1 antibody that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2004 for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. The intravenous formulation of bevacizumab was first injected intravitreally in 2005 and has proven to be a relatively safe and extremely effective off-label treatment for neovascular ocular disease and diseases associated with macular edema. This paper is a review of the ophthalmic uses of bevacizumab in processes other than choroidal neovascularization.
