• •4. Toxicities from previous treatment not resolved to grade ≤ 1 (according to the version 5.0 of the National Cancer Institute - Common terminology criteria for adverse events \[NCI-CTCAE v5.0\]) before treatment start with the exception of alopecia.
• •5. Major surgical procedures or serious trauma within 4 weeks prior to treatment start, or plans for major surgery within 4 weeks after the first dose (as determined by the investigator). Minor local procedures (excluding central venous catheterization and port implantation) within 3 days prior to treatment start.
• •6. History of bleeding tendencies or coagulopathy and/or clinically significant bleeding symptoms or risk within 4 weeks prior to inclusion, including but not limited to:

• •2. Nasal bleeding /epistaxis (bloody nasal discharge is allowed),
• •3. Current use of prophylactic or full-dose anticoagulants or anti-platelet agents for therapeutic purposes that is not stable prior to treatment start is not allowed. The use of full-dose anticoagulants is permitted as long as the international normalized ratio (INR) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is within therapeutic limits according to the medical standard of the enrolling institution.
• •7. Poorly controlled hypertension with repeated systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg after oral antihypertensive therapy.
• •8. History of major diseases before inclusion, specifically:
• •1. Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association classification ≥ grade 2) or unstable vascular disease (eg, aortic aneurysm at risk of rupture, Moyamoya disease) that required hospitalization within 12 months prior to inclusion, or other cardiac impairment that may affect the safety evaluation of the study drug (eg, poorly controlled arrhythmias, myocardial ischemia),
• •2. History of esophageal gastric varices, severe ulcers, wounds that do not heal, abdominal fistula, intra-abdominal abscesses, or acute gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months before inclusion,
• •3. History of any grade arterial thromboembolic event, venous thromboembolic event of Grade 3 and above as specified in NCI-CTCAE v5.0, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, hypertensive crisis, or hypertensive encephalopathy within 12 months prior to inclusion,
• •4. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease within 4 weeks before inclusion,
• •5. History of perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and/or fistula, history of gastrointestinal obstruction (including incomplete intestinal obstruction requiring parenteral nutrition), extensive bowel resection (partial colectomy or extensive small bowel resection) within 6 months prior to inclusion.
• •9. Imaging during the screening period shows that the patient has:
• •1. Radiologically documented evidence of major blood vessel invasion or encasement by cancer,
• •2. Radiographic evidence of intra-tumor cavitation.
• •3. Evidence of higher bleeding risk on prostheses
• •10. Any immunosuppressive therapy during more than 7 days (i.e. corticosteroids \>10mg or equivalent dose) within 14 days before the planned start of study therapy. Physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency is not considered as a form of systemic treatment.
• •11. Active autoimmune disease that has required a systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e. corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine, insulin) is allowed active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjögren syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis, with the following exceptions:
• •1. Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are on thyroid replacement hormone are eligible for the study,
• •2. Patients with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study,
• •3. Patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only (e.g., patients with psoriatic arthritis are excluded) are eligible for the study provided all of following conditions are met:
• •I. Rash must cover \< 10% of body surface area, II. Disease is well controlled at baseline and requires only low-potency topical corticosteroids, III. No occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high potency or oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months.
• •12. Prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or prior solid organ transplantation.
• •13. Known history of, or any evidence of, interstitial lung disease.
• •14. Patient with non-controlled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies) infection (patient with undetectable viral load (HIV RNA PCR) and CD4 above 350 either spontaneously or on stable anti-viral regimen).
• •15. Chronic hepatitis B or C infection (if hepatitis status cannot be obtained from medical records, re-testing is required)
• •16. In case of planned treatment with fluorouracil, proven complete deficiency of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD).
• •17. Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for the subject to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.
• •18. Pregnant or breast-feeding females.
• •19. Participation in another therapeutic trial within the 30 days prior to entering the study. Participation in an observational trial would be acceptable.
• •20. Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the medical follow-up required by the trial because of geographic, familial, social, or psychological reasons.
