A Translational Study of Bevacizumab in Participants With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Summary

This open-label, prospective, single-arm, multicenter study will evaluate the relationship of the markers of inflammation and progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with previously untreated metastatic colorectal cancer. The study consists of two phases: Phase A treatment: oral capecitabine plus infusional oxaliplatin (XELOX) plus bevacizumab, or modified infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin (LV) and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) plus bevacizmab administered until first disease progression. Participants will then continue with Phase B treatment: infusional 5-FU, LV and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) plus bevacizumab until second disease progression. The anticipated time on study treatment is 4 years.
