Abstrakt: Objective: To provide detailed guidance on the administration of systemic bevacizumab in patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) based on a detailed review of the scientific literature and a consensus of experts with real‐world clinical experience. Methods: A bevacizumab consensus working group (N = 10) was composed of adult and pediatric otolaryngologists, adult and pediatric oncologists, and a representative from the RRP Foundation (RRPF), all with experience administering systemic bevacizumab in patients with RRP. After extensive review of the medical literature, a modified Delphi method‐based survey series was utilized to establish consensus on the following key areas: clinical and patient characteristics ideal for treatment candidacy, patient perspective in treatment decisions, treatment access, initial dosing, monitoring, guidelines for tapering and discontinuation, and reintensifying therapy. Results: Seventy‐nine statements were identified across nine critical domains, and 45 reached consensus [clinical benefits of bevacizumab (3), patient and disease characteristics for treatment consideration (7), contraindications for treatment (3), shared decision‐making (incorporating the patient perspective) (5), treatment access (3), initial dosing and administration (8), monitoring (7), tapering and discontinuation (6), and reintensification (3)]. Conclusion: This consensus statement provides the necessary guidance for clinicians to initiate systemic administration of bevacizumab and represents a potential paradigm shift toward nonsurgical treatment options for patients with RRP.
