- Participants will be randomized into one of two study groups. The first group will receive Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) plus bevacizumab. The second group will receive ADT alone.
- For the Androgen Deprivation therapy either (treating physician discretion)leuprolide or goserelin acetate (given as injections) every 3 months for a total of 6 months. Bicalutamide will also be taken orally daily for a total of 6 months.
- Bevacizumab will be given intravenously every three weeks for a total of 8 infusions over 6 months.
- Participants will be evaluated every 7-9 weeks with vitals, physical exam, PS, laboratories including PSA and testosterone.

- Cardiovascular Safety Including Measurement of Blood Pressure During Treatment Period (6 Months). [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The number of patients who developed hypertension (greater that 150 systolic or greater than 90 diastolic) during treatment period.
- Analysis of Cytokines and Angiogenic Factors in Plasma/Serum [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Analysis of cytokines and angiogenic factors in plasma/serum at baseline and at 6 months (end of treatment).
