1 AVASTIN REFERENCE GUIDE Indications Avastin, in combination with paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan, is indicated for the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who received no more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens. Avastin, in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel, or with carboplatin and gemcitabine, followed by Avastin as a single agent, is indicated for the treatment of patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Avastin, in combination with paclitaxel and cisplatin or paclitaxel and topotecan, is indicated for the treatment of patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer. Avastin, in combination with interferon alfa, is indicated for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Avastin is indicated for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma in adults. Avastin, in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel, is indicated for the first-line treatment of patients with unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic non squamous non small cell lung cancer. Avastin, in combination with intravenous 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, is indicated for the first- or second-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Avastin, in combination with fluoropyrimidine-irinotecan- or fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatinbased chemotherapy, is indicated for the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed on a first-line Avastin-containing regimen. Limitation of Use: Avastin is not indicated for adjuvant treatment of colon cancer. Boxed WARNINGS Gastrointestinal (GI) perforation Discontinue for gastrointestinal perforation Surgery and wound healing complications Withhold Avastin for at least 28 days prior to elective surgery. Do not administer Avastin for at least 28 days after surgery and until the wound is fully healed Discontinue in patients with wound healing complications requiring medical intervention Hemorrhage Severe or fatal hemorrhage have occurred Do not administer Avastin to patients with serious hemorrhage or recent history of hemoptysis Discontinue for Grade 3-4 hemorrhage

TML=Treatment through Multiple Lines (first and second line). 15 mg/kg IV dose evaluated in first-line locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin (PC). Avastin plus PC was given for up to 6 cycles, after which Avastin was continued alone until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity mg/kg IV dose evaluated in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mrcc) in combination with interferon alfa (IFN). AVOREN protocol allowed for IFN dose escalation (attaining a dose of 9 million international units [MIU] within the first 2 weeks), reduction, or discontinuation. IFN was discontinued after 52 weeks or earlier. 1,3 2 In the majority of approved indications (NSCLC, second-line MCRC in combination with FOLFOX4 [Study E3200], mrcc, CC, and proc), Avastin is consistently dosed at the weekly equivalent of 5 mg/kg 1 In first-line MCRC in combination with IFL (Study 2107) and when Avastin is continued in patients who had progressed on a first-line Avastin-containing regimen in combination with fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy (the TML study ), Avastin is dosed at the weekly equivalent of 2.5 mg/kg 1 Across all indications, study results were achieved with Avastin given at the approved dose until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity 1,3-8 psoc GBM 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for 6 and up to 8 cycles if used in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel, followed by Avastin 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks as a single agent as maintenance or 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks for 6 and up to 10 cycles if used in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine, followed by Avastin 15 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks as a single agent as maintenance 10 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks # 15 mg/kg IV dose evaluated in persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer (CC) in combination with either cisplatin/paclitaxel or topotecan/paclitaxel. Treatment was given until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ** 10 mg/kg IV dose evaluated in platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or proc in combination with weekly paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), or weekly topotecan; or 15 mg/kg IV dose evaluated in combination with topotecan administered every 3 weeks. Treatment was given until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 15 mg/kg IV dose evaluated in platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (psoc) every 3 weeks when administered in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for 6 cycles and up to 8 cycles, followed by Avastin 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks as a single agent as maintenance until disease progression. Alternatively, Avastin can be administered as a 15 mg/kg dose every 3 weeks when given in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine for 6 cycles and up to 10 cycles, followed by Avastin 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks as a single agent as maintenance until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 10 mg/kg IV evaluated in glioblastoma (GBM) every 2 weeks in combination with lomustine plus radiotherapy. Treatment was given until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Important treatment considerations Women of childbearing potential Avastin increases the risk of ovarian failure and may impair fertility. Inform females of reproductive potential of the risk of ovarian failure prior to the first dose of Avastin Long-term effects of Avastin exposure on fertility are unknown Patients should also use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose of Avastin Nursing mothers should be advised to discontinue nursing during treatment and for 6 months following their last dose of treatment

3 Duration of Avastin therapy in pivotal trials In pivotal Phase III MCRC trials, Avastin has demonstrated survival benefits in the first line and when continued beyond first progression 1,4 TML study* results were achieved with Avastin given at the approved dose until second disease progression or unacceptable toxicity To realize the clinical benefit of Avastin, patients in clinical trials were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patient starts with Avastin Administer as indicated Monitor and manage adverse events Continue Avastin until - Cancer grows or spreads - Unacceptable adverse events Disease progression Patient continues with Avastin Administer Avastin Monitor and manage Continue Avastin Second disease progression or unacceptable toxicity First-line advanced nsnsclc 1,9 Number of Patients (n) Avastin + PC PC alone n=437 n=422 98% 99% 90% 91% 79% 73% 73% 65% 66% 52% 60% 44% 1 Cycle n=387 n=402 2 Cycles Avastin + PC n=338 n=323 n=314 n=286 n=284 3 Cycles 4 Cycles DISEASE PROGRESSION OR UNACCEPTABLE TOXICITY n=230 5 Cycles Avastin + PC (n=429) PC alone (n=440) n=258 n=194 6 Cycles Duration Avastin treatment may be continued when chemotherapy is switched Patients completing treatment (%) *TML=Treatment through Multiple Lines (first and second line). Across all indications, study results were achieved with Avastin given at the approved dose until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity 1,3-8 nsnsclc=non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Per protocol, patients had to be progression free and without unacceptable toxicity to receive each cycle of treatment, based on investigator assessment (not independently verified), and patients progression free after 6 cycles of Avastin plus PC were eligible to receive Avastin alone. 9 Cycle information was not collected for EPP (Expanded Participation Project) patients. Therefore, these patients were not included in this analysis. 9 Indications Avastin, in combination with intravenous 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, is indicated for the first- or second-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Avastin, in combination with fluoropyrimidine-irinotecan- or fluoropyrimidineoxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, is indicated for the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed on a first-line Avastin-containing regimen. Limitation of Use: Avastin is not indicated for adjuvant treatment of colon cancer. 4
