| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Safety assessments will consist of evaluating labatory parameters and adverse events according to NCI CTCAE 3.0. The following variables will be analyzed to assess the effectiveness of bevacizumab in the treatment of metastatic colon carcinoma: • Biological parameters. • 111In-bevacizumab distribution kinetics by gamma-camera imaging. Evaluation of gamma-camera imaging to recognize the distribution pattern of 111In-bevacizumab in patients who do show response to bevacizumab therapy. | — |
