Time frame: Induction Study Period (around 18 weeks)

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population: All randomized patients who were randomly assigned to study drug regardless of whether or not any study treatment dosing was completed.

Immunogenicity was assessed on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (pre-dose), every 2 cycles during the Induction Study Period, and every 3 cycles during the Maintenance Study Period and End of Treatment (EOT) visit. In the Follow-Up Period, immunogenicity was assessed once at the first visit of the Follow-Up Period (ninth week).

Population: Safety Population: all randomly assigned patients who received at least 1 dose (partial or full) of study drug (CT-P16 or Avastin). Patients receiving at least 1 dose of CT-P16 at any time of during the treatment period were analyzed under the CT-P16 treatment group. Three patients who were randomized to Avastin treatment group were analyzed under the CT-P16 treatment group since the patients incorrectly received CT-P16 during the treatment period.
