Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: bevacizumab before chemotherapy
Bevacizumab administered 4 days before each cycle of chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX-6 / mOXXEL)
 Drug: Bevacizumab
5 mg/kg every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks. After 24 weeks, those patients without disease progression will receive bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg every 3 weeks until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity.
Other Name: Avastin

Drug: Oxaliplatin
85mg/m2 IV every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks

Drug: levo-folinic acid
200 mg/m2 IV before 5-fluorouracil infusion, every 2 weeks up to 24 weeks

Drug: 5-fluorouracil
400 mg/m2 IV bolus followed by 2400 mg/m2 IV infusion over 46 hours, every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks (given in mFOLFOX-6 schedule)

Drug: Capecitabine
1000mg/m2 by mouth, twice a day for 10 days, every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks(given in mOXXEL schedule)
Active Comparator: bevacizumab with chemotherapy
Bevacizumab administered on the first day of each cycle of chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX-6 / mOXXEL)
 Drug: Bevacizumab
5 mg/kg every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks. After 24 weeks, those patients without disease progression will receive bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg every 3 weeks until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity.
Other Name: Avastin

Drug: Oxaliplatin
85mg/m2 IV every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks

Drug: levo-folinic acid
200 mg/m2 IV before 5-fluorouracil infusion, every 2 weeks up to 24 weeks

Drug: 5-fluorouracil
400 mg/m2 IV bolus followed by 2400 mg/m2 IV infusion over 46 hours, every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks (given in mFOLFOX-6 schedule)

Drug: Capecitabine
1000mg/m2 by mouth, twice a day for 10 days, every 2 weeks for up to 24 weeks(given in mOXXEL schedule)


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. number of objective responses [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. progression free survival [ Time Frame: one year ]
  2. overall survival [ Time Frame: 30 months ]
  3. worst grade toxicity per patient [ Time Frame: evaluated every 2 weeks up to 6 months ]
  4. changes in quality of life [ Time Frame: measured at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. evaluation of prognostic and predictive factors [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    circulating endothelial cell counts, cytokines, antiangiogenic factors, single nucleotide polymorphisms of VEGF, leukocyte count 24 hours after administration of bevacizumab, and mRNA will be evaluated in blood samples of participating consenting patients, for correlation with clinical outcomes of patients

  2. change in metabolic tumor volume [ Time Frame: 11 days from first day of first cycle of chemotherapy ]
    measured by PET scan
