Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Designated Pharmacy personnel at the clinical site not directly involved with the clinical aspects of the trial will prepare and dispense the study medication and will be aware of the randomization code. All study treatments will have the same visual appearance in order to avoid compromising the study blinding.
In the event of an emergency for an individual subject, the Investigator may break the blind for that subject. An envelope for each subject containing their treatment assignment will be made available from the pharmacy personnel.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization will be stratified according to the subject's weight. The following weight strata will be used: less than or equal to 77 kg or greater than 77 kg. For each body weight strata, block randomization will be used to randomize subjects equally to each of the 3 treatment arms.
Masking / blinding

Statistical methods / analysis
Statistical Analysis will be performed using SAS v9.3 (SAS Institute, Cary, USA). Statistical analysis will be performed between BP01 and US-licensed Avastin (to evaluate similarity between test compound and US reference), BP01 and EU-licensed Avastin (to evaluate similarity between test compound and EU reference), and US-licensed Avastin and EU-licensed Avastin (to evaluate similarity between US and EU references).
