FDA warns of new fake batch of cancer drug Avastin

The FDA said in an online post Tuesday that at least one batch of the drug distributed by a New York company does not contain the active ingre- dient in real Avastin, which is used to treat cancers of the colon, lung, kidney and brain. The drug was distrib- uted by Medical Device King, which also does busi- ness as Pharmalogical.

Both of those cases appeared to involve different networks of distributors than the latest incident. The FDA said it’s currently unclear whether any U.S. patients have received the drug.

Importing even authentic Altuzan into the U.S. is ille- gal, since the FDA has only reviewed Avastin as safe and effective. The agency is asking doc- tors to stop using any prod- ucts from Medical Device King, Pharmalogical or Taranis Medical, another affiliated business. A telephone number listed on Medical Device King’s website was not in service. Company representatives did not immediately respond to emails sent Wednesday. Roche’s Genentech unit sells Avastin in 120 countries and manufactures and pack- ages the drug at eight sites worldwide. The drug had sales of $5.8 billion in 2012 and was Roche’s second-best selling drug overall. The
