About

Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), combined with fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy is now the standard first and second-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. The efficacy of bevacizumab with cytotoxic agents in the third-line treatment of patients with mCRC is still unknown.

Full description

This is a single arm, phase II, open-labelled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab combined with cytotoxic agents in the treatment of patients with mCRC progressing under all available cytotoxic chemotherapy
