and radiologic documentation of disease progression during or with 3 months after
termination of standard chemotherapy (fluoropyrimidine-based therapy with oxaliplatin
and irinotecan). Patients who had to interrupt the 1st or 1nd line therapy due to
intolerance or who were refractory or intolerant to the standard treatment regimens
are eligible, too. Bevacizumab can, but does not need to be administered at
discretion of treating physician. Patients with K-RAS wild-type can be treated with
cetuximab or panitumumab before they enter the study.

- No chemotherapy within 4 weeks before treatment start

- No residual significant toxicity (greater than NCI grade 1), in case of peripheral
neuropathy: no symptoms of peripheral neuropathy of NCI CTC grade 4 within 4 weeks
before treatment start.

≥100,000/mm3

bilirubin should be ≤3.5 mg/dL (59.86 μmol/L)), aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine
transaminase (ALT) ≤ 5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); hepatic alkaline phosphatase ≤
3.0 × ULN (in case of liver metastases higher levels do not hinder inclusion of
patients)
