Guidance Recommendations
The Ministry of Health's Drug Advisory Committee has not recommended bevacizumab reference biologic (Avastin) for subsidy for treating persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer in view of unfavourable cost effectiveness compared with bevacizumab biosimilar (Mvasi) at the price proposed by the manufacturer.
Clinical indications, subsidy class and MediShield Life claim limits are provided in the Annex.
