Great news! On May 18, Bio-Thera's recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody injection (BAT1706)
was approved for clinical trials by the China Food and Drug
Administration (CFDA), marking our second approval for biosimilar
clinical trials this year. BAT1706 is a bevacizumab biosimilar indicated for use in the treatment of many types of tumors,
including colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer,
malignant glioma, renal cell carcinoma, and ovarian cancer. Bio-Thera is currently implementing a global development plan for BAT1706,
and phase I trials have already commenced in New Zealand, making this
the first clinical study of a bevacizumab biosimilar to be conducted
overseas by a Chinese company.
