NO16966: efficacy results for superiority – major points
Bevacizumab provides significant/superior PFS when added to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy regimens
Treatment until progression is crucial to demonstrate full potential of bevacizumab
Analyses of withdrawal data and PFS on treatment show excellent efficacy for bevacizumab
IRC analysis clearly demonstrates superior PFS for bevacizumab in all treatment groups
IRC = independent review committee

Potential use of neoadjuvant bevacizumab (cont’d)
Impaired wound healing and liver regeneration have been associated with anti-VEGF therapies
Using bevacizumab in patients who may become eligible for surgery raises the question of scheduling/best practice

Surgery with curative intent in patients receiving bevacizumab is feasible
With appropriate management, bevacizumab can be usedin combination with chemotherapy with minimal risk of bleeding/wound-healing complications in patients with mCRC undergoing resection of metastases
Data suggest that bevacizumab can be administered until5 weeks prior to liver resection without any wound healing/bleeding complications
Liver generation following resection does not appear to be affected in patients receiving bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy

Conclusions
Bevacizumab combined with standard therapies is an effective first-line treatment strategy for mCRC
Bevacizumab is generally well tolerated
Efficacy and safety outcomes in clinical evaluation studies are similar to those reported in clinical trials
Capecitabine is effectively replacing 5-FU in mCRC
Data suggest that metastasectomy is feasible in patients with mCRC treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy
