All patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment. 11. Patients must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
Informed consent must be obtained in writing for all patients prior to enrollment into the study. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Diagnosis of any second malignancy within the last 5 years, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or for in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri. 2. More than 3 chemotherapy regimens in the advanced disease treatment setting. 3. Prior treatment with a VEGF or VEGF receptor inhibitor. 4. Anticipation of a need for a major surgical procedure (e.g., impending bowel obstruction, gastrointestinal perforation) or radiation therapy during the study. 5. Likelihood of requiring treatment during the study period with drugs not permitted by the clinical trial protocol. 6. History of hypersensitivity to any Trap agents or recombinant proteins. 7. Treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, blood products, or an investigational agent within 3 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas, mitomycin C, immunotherapy, or major surgery) of study enrollment. 8. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as blood pressure >150/100 mm Hg (NCI CTCAE v.3.0 grade ≥2), or systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg if diastolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg, on at least 2 repeated determinations on separate days within 3 months prior to study enrollment. 9. Any of the following within 6 months prior to study enrollment: myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina pectoris, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, NYHA class III or IV congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, peptic ulcer disease, erosive esophagitis or gastritis, infectious or inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or other thromboembolic event. 10. History of brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or carcinomatous meningitis. 11. Evidence of clinically significant bleeding diathesis including hemoptysis, or underlying coagulopathy. 12. Active infection, or on antiretroviral therapy for HIV disease. 13. Patient is the investigator or any subinvestigator, research assistant, pharmacist, study coordinator, other staff or relative thereof directly involved in the conduct of the protocol. 14. Mental condition rendering the patient unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study. 15. Patient unlikely to comply with protocol, e.g., uncooperative attitude, inability to return for follow-up visits, and unlikelihood of completing the study. 16. Refusal or inability to give informed consent to participate in the study. 17. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 18. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, or significant laboratory abnormality requiring further investigation that may cause undue risk for the patient’s safety, inhibit protocol participation, or interfere with interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study. 19. Patient has been previously randomized in this study. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
To confirme objective response according to RECIST criteria. Confirmation of objective responses will be confirmed by repeat tumor imaging 4-6 weeks later. All imaging studies will be assessed by an independent third-party core imaging laboratory. The data cutoff date for the final analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint will be defined as the earlier of the date 6 months after randomization of the last evaluable patient and the date when response status can be determined for all evaluable patients. |
