Overview

Generic Name(s):
bavituximab
NCI Definition [1]:
A chimeric, IgG1 monoclonal antibody directed against anionic phospholipids with potential antineoplastic activity. Bavituximab binds to anionic phospholipids in a beta 2-glycoprotein I-dependent manner, inhibiting tumor growth by stimulating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) to tumor vessels.

Bavituximab has been investigated in 4 clinical trials, of which 3 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating bavituximab, 3 are phase 2 (3 open) and 1 is phase 2/phase 3 (0 open).

Deficient DNA Mismatch Repair (dMMR), ERBB2 Amplification, and HER2 Overexpression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for bavituximab clinical trials.

Adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, breast carcinoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in bavituximab clinical trials [2].
