• Alkaline phosphate > 1x but < or = 2.5 x and AST/ALT > 1x but < or = 1.5x
• Alkaline phosphate < or = ULN and AST/ALT > 1x but < or = 2.5x

• Inability to comply with the study protocol or follow-up procedures
• Pregnancy or lactation
• A history of a severe hypersensitivity reaction to bevacizumab, or capecitabine or other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80.
• Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.

• Current, recent (within 4 weeks of the first infusion of this study), or planned participation in an experimental drug study other than a Genentech-sponsored bevacizumab cancer study
• Unstable angina
• Urine protein creatinine ratio greater than or equal to 1.
• Therapeutic anticoagulation with oral anticoagulation medications, specifically coumarins
