- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to the first date of bevacizumab/placebo therapy
- Major surgical procedure anticipated during the course of the study.
- Minor surgical procedures (i.e., mediport insertion), fine needle aspirates, or core biopsies within 7 days prior to the first date of bevacizumab/placebo therapy
