BioDlink Completes First International Shipment of Bevacizumab to Colombia

• Bevacizumab is a targeted therapy used to treat lung and colorectal cancers, both among the top three cancers ranked by death in Colombia ^[1] .
• This inaugural shipment— dispatched around two months after Colombia's marketing approval — demonstrates the company's efficiency, while validating its antibody commercialization platform, as well as robust production quality and supply chain management systems.

SUZHOU, China, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BioDlink announced the first international shipment of its bevacizumab injection biosimilar to Colombia in partnership with Kexing BioPharm. Both companies marked this milestone with a special ceremony when specially-decorated transport vehicles arrived.

Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is widely used in the treatment of various cancers, including metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic or recurrent non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC). According to industry estimates, bevacizumab injection achieved global sales of USD 8.5 billion in 2023^[2].

In July 2025, the company announced that its bevacizumab injection has received marketing approval from Colombia's National Institute for Surveillance of Medicines and Foods (INVIMA). This inaugural shipment—dispatched around two months after marketing approval—demonstrates BioDlink's efficiency, while validating its antibody commercialization platform, as well as robust production quality and supply chain management systems. BioDlink's 50,000-square-meter manufacturing facilities have successfully undergone EU Qualified Person (QP) audits for antibody drugs and ADCs five times in the past four years, with zero critical defects noted. BioDlink's global-quality system is robust, delivering over 100 clinical projects with development, clinical filings, and manufacturing services worldwide, including Europe and the U.S.

Following GMP certification in China, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan and Thailand, Kexing BioPharm, the global licensee for bevacizumab injection in emerging markets, has initiated regulatory filings in 35 countries in close collaboration with BioDlink. GMP certification in Brazil, Colombia and Argentina covers the top three most populous countries in South America, representing 71.4 % of the continent's population^[3].

Colombia's ongoing cancer burden patterns (117,620 new cases in 2022, with 11,163 colorectal and 7,196 lung cases^[1]) aligns closely with bevacizumab's treatment areas of metastatic colorectal and non-squamous non-small cell NSCLC among others, making this initial international shipment both strategically important and timely.

Since BioDlink signed an international commercialization agreement with Kexing BioPharm in early 2022, both two companies have achieved a complementary and efficient closed-loop "R&D-manufacturing-access" model, laying the foundation for the future international launch of additional products. BioDlink focuses on ensuring international manufacturing and supply chain robustness, while Kexing BioPharm leverages its global channels to drive localized market access.

BioDlink and Kexing BioPharm are committed to deepening their global collaboration to fulfill a shared mission of advancing global healthcare. BioDlink remains aligned with its "Quality First, Innovation Driven, Success Together" service philosophy to focus on emerging markets such as South America, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa, benefiting an even broader global patient population in the future.
