Treatment and study plan

FOLFIRI + bevacizumab

Drug
  • Bevacizumab 5 mg/kg iv, followed by
  • Irinotecan 180 mg/m2 iv administered over a period of 30-90 minutes, followed by
  • Leucovorin (LV) 400 mg/m2 iv administered over a period of 2 hours, followed by
  • 5-FU 400 mg/m2 iv bolus, followed by
