2. Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e., without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study treatment

11. History of serious gastrointestinal haemorrhage within 6 months prior to start of study drug

12. History of severe arterial thromboembolic event within 12 months of start of study drug

13. Serious grade 4 venous thromboembolic event including pulmonary embolism

14. History of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy

23. Treated with other investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit for this study

24. Female who is pregnant* or lactating and of childbearing potential who does not agree to a reliable and adequate method of contraception

25. A known history of severe drug hypersensitivity or hypersensitivity to a therapy similar to the study drugs

26. Unable to participate in the trial according to the investigator's decision.

27. Previous therapy with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted agents including (but not limited to) bevacizumab

28. Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g., CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137) and was discontinued from that treatment due to a Grade 3 or higher irAE
