Primary Objective: The primary objective is to validate previously identified predictive/prognostic genomic DNA and expression biomarkers of response to combination bvz treatments in K-ras mutant advanced CRC (a CRC) or metastatic CRC (mCRC). Secondary Objective: 1. To test the efficacy of bvz in combination with FOLFOX in patients with newly diagnosed advanced or metastatic K-ras mutant CRC and 2. To determine the progression free and overall survival of patients under first line FOLFOX + bvz in aCRC or mCRC.
Study Design: Type of Study: Exploratory, translational, multicenter and multinational Phase II study. Patient Population:All patients from the intent-to-treat population with aCRC or mCRC, (incurable with any conventional multimodality approach) and who fulfil all inclusion and exclusion criteria. Number of Patients: 224 Sample Type: Serial tissue and blood samples will be collected before (week 0), during (week 6, month 3 and 6) and at the end of treatment (month 12).
