Patients treated previously with Bevacizumab

Non measurable lesion as only disease evidence

Previous chemotherapy treatment for adjuvant or neoadjuvant disease (no metastatic (M0), or immunotherapy active/passive for the advance or metastatic disease. It is permitted the adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment it is has finished at least 6 months before the initiation of the study drug.If the patient has received an adjuvant treatment previously the patient cannot participate if disease progression has been confirmed during the treatment or on the 6 months later

Prior radiotherapy is allowed if it has not been administered in the target lesions selected for this study, unless progression of said lesions in the irradiated field is documented, and as long as treatment has concluded at least 4 weeks before beginning the study.

Prior surgical treatment of the disease in stage IV is allowed
