Bavencio (avelumab) is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Bavencio is used to treat a type of skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) in adults and children at least 12 years old, when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic).

Bavencio was approved for MCC by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on an "accelerated" basis. In clinical studies, tumors responded to this medicine. However, further studies are needed.

Bavencio is used to treat a certain type of cancer of the bladder or urinary tract that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. Avelumab is given for this condition after platinum cancer medicines did not work or have stopped working.

Bavencio is also used used alone or in combination with the medicine axitinib for the treatment of a type of kidney cancer called renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery (advanced RCC).
