• ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2 Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
• chemotherapy prior to the diagnosis of metastatic disease. The chemotherapy regimen must not have included oxaliplatin or bevacizumab. No prior therapy for metastatic disease is permitted.
• Evidence of adequate organ function, including:
• Evidence of adequate hepatic function,
• Evidence of adequate renal function INR <1.5 x ULN (unless taking warfarin in which case it must be in the therapeutic range). Patients on warfarin are allowed to participate.
• Absence of proteinuria on urine analysis· Patients with a history of prior non-colorectal malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 5 years prior to study entry and are deemed by the physician to be at low risk for recurrence. Patients with the following cancers are eligible if diagnosed and treated within the past 5 years: melanoma in situ, and basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

• Serious, uncontrolled, concurrent infection.
• Lack of physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract or malabsorption syndrome.
• Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 0, or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study; fine needle aspirations or core biopsies within 7 days prior to Day 0.
