colorectal metastatic or relapsed patients with adenocarcinoma of colon or recto,
confirmed histologically with metastatic disease

- measurable disease (following RECIST criteria)

- ECOG ≤ 2

Exclusion Criteria:

- 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.

patients with proved deficit in dehidropirimidin dehydrogenase (DPD)

- Patients classified as "weak or fragile"

- Cardiac concomitant present: Symptomatic auriculoventricular arrhythmia history, and /
cardiac arrhythmias requiring medication or peripheral vascular disease, grade II or
higher. Furthermore, those patients who have had a myocardial infarction in the year
prior to beginning the treatment of the study will be excluded.

- History of another neoplastic disease during the last five years, with the exception
of cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin and cervical carcinoma in situ.

- History or indications of CNS disease in the physical examination.

- History of psychiatric disability that the investigator considers clinically
significant, which prevents the patient from granting the informed consent or
interferes with compliance of taking the oral medication.

- Uncontrolled hypertension or clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular
disease: CVA/stoke (≤ 6 months prior to randomisation), myocardial infarction (≤ 6
months prior to randomisation), unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA,)

1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.5 x 109/l

2. Platelet count < 100 x 109/l

3. Hemoglobin < 10 g/dl (it can be transfused to maintain or exceed this level)

4. International Normalized Ratio (INR) > 1.5

5. Total bilirubin > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)

6. ALAT, ASAT > 2.5 x ULN or > 5 x (ULN) in the case of hepatic metastases

7. Alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x ULN or > 5 x ULN in the case of hepatic metastases
or > 10 x ULN in the case of osseous metastases.

significant traumatic lesions within the 28 days prior to beginning the treatment of
the study or in whom it is foreseen that a major surgical procedure will be necessary
during the course of the study; fine-needle aspiration within the 7 days prior to
beginning the treatment of the study.

- Current or recent use (within the 10 days prior to beginning the treatment of the
study) of oral or parenteral anticoagulants at complete doses or thrombolytic agents.
The use of low doses of warfarin is allowed, with an International Normalized Ratio
[INR] of < 1.5.

- Daily chronic treatment with high doses of aspirin (> 325 mg/day) or non-steroid
anti-inflammatory medications (which inhibit the platelet function at doses used for
treating chronic inflammatory diseases).

- Patients who have received any drug or agent/procedure under research, i.e., who have
participated in another clinical trial during the 4 weeks prior to beginning the
treatment with the medications of the study.
