Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of three dose levels of combretastatin A4 phosphate (CA4P) given intravenously (IV) in combination with bevacizumab every 14 days in patients with advanced solid tumors. The maximum tolerated dose will be defined if it is at one of the three dose levels under study.

4. Age \> or = to 18 years old
5. Adequate bone marrow function:

1. absolute granulocyte count (neutrophils and bands) \> or = to 1500 cells/mm3;
2. platelet count \> or = to 100,000 cells/mm3;

7. Adequate hepatic function:

1. bilirubin less than or = to 1.5 mg/dL;
2. aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) less than or = to 2.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (or less than or = to 5 times ULN if liver metastases are present).
8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
9. Life expectancy of \> or = to 12 weeks
10. Written, signed, dated, and witnessed (if applicable as per International Conference on Harmonization \[ICH\] guidelines) Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved informed consent form before any study specific screening procedures are performed
11. Fertile subjects must abstain from sexual intercourse or use effective birth control.
12. All women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours of first dose.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Contraindications, allergies or sensitivity to the use of the study medications or any other products required for participation in this study (i.e. contrast agents)
2. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases
3. Diagnosed squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
4. History of gastrointestinal perforations
5. Surgery within 28 days of screening visit or a surgical incision that is not fully healed. Any surgery planned during the study period.
6. Proteinuria \>1 g/24 hours by 24 hour urine collection (perform 24 hour urine collection if \> 1+ on dipstick)

15. Electrocardiogram (ECG) with evidence of prior myocardial infarction (e.g., significant Q waves), QTc \> 450 msec or other clinically significant abnormalities
16. Taking any drug(s) known to prolong the QTc interval, which cannot be interrupted for at least four days during each treatment cycle.
17. Known significant heart wall abnormality or heart muscle damage as evidenced on multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (this is not a required screening investigation)
18. Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as blood pressure consistently greater than 150/100 irrespective of medication). Or controlled hypertension requiring use of \> 2 classes of anti-hypertensives.

20. Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease or cerebrovascular disease
21. Psychiatric disorders or other conditions rendering subjects incapable of complying with the requirements of the protocol
22. Receiving concurrent hormonal therapy with the exception of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists in subjects with hormone refractory prostate cancer, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), oral contraceptives, and megestrol acetate used for anorexia/cachexia
23. Receiving anticoagulation with warfarin, heparin or low molecular weight heparin other than low dose (1 mg) warfarin for maintenance of central line patency
24. Women who are currently pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy; or women who have a positive pregnancy test.
25. Receiving concurrent antineoplastic therapy (radiation therapy, cytotoxic or biologic therapy)
26. Participation in an investigational drug or device trial within 30 days of entering the study.
