Patients receive aflibercept and fluorouracil and then continuously over 46 hours on days 1 and 15.If leucovorin is not available due to drug shortages the regimen should be administered with the leucovorin omitted. Correlative Studies are required to be available before enrolling on the study. A fresh biopsy is only required if there is insufficient material for analysis. Repeat tumor biopsies after 8 weeks of therapy are optional and will only be performed at the Ohio State University Medical Center.DCE MRI (dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging)images at weeks 0, and after 8 weeks +/- 1 week of treatment(after Cycle 2). 18FDG-PET is a functional imaging technique that relies on tumor uptake of radiolabeled tracer 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG).FDG-PET is a widely-used imaging modality in the detection and monitoring of a variety of metastatic cancers,including colorectal cancer (99-102). aflibercept: 4 mg/kg as a 1-hour IV(intervenous) infusion oxaliplatin: 85 mg/m2 IV infused over 2 hours leucovorin: 200 mg/m2 (Or levoleucovorin 100 mg/m2. If leucovorin is not available due to drug shortages the regimen should be administered with the leucovorin omitted) IV over 2 hours. Alternatively, leucovorin may be administered (via separate infusion lines) concurrently with oxaliplatin fluorouracil: 400 mg/m2 IV bolus over 5-15 minutes, then 2400 mg/m2 continuous IV infusion over 46 hours.
