Answer a few quick questions to see if you may meet the eligibility requirements.
Bevacizumab is a standard drug for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy. However, inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability was observed for bevacizumab and an exposure-response relationship for efficacy was described for bevacizumab in mCRC patients treated with 1st-line bevacizumab-based chemotherapy.
