How does MVASI work?
MVASI is a targeted therapy anticancer medication known as a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. VEGF is a specific protein that helps cancer cells grow by promoting and expanding their blood supply. MVASI works by blocking VEGF. This cuts off cancer’s blood supply, helping slow down its growth.

- The typical dose of MVASI ranges from 5 mg/kg to 15 mg/kg infused IV once every 2 to 3 weeks
- Your exact dose and how often you’ll get the infusion also depends on the type of cancer you have and what other anticancer medications your provider prescribes
