Values are reported as the arithmetic mean ± standard deviation (n). The Tmax is reported as the median (range). When n ≤ 2, individual values are reported.

b

DL2a (FOLFOX/erlotinib 100 mg) and 2b (with bevacizumab).

Abbreviations: AUC = area under the curve; DL = dose level; FOLFOX = infusional 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/oxaliplatin
