There are three parts to this study. The first part is the “Screening Period”. The screening period will help determine if you are eligible to take part in this study. The screening period will take place over 4 weeks and can be spread over several visits. Each visit will take up to 3 hours. During this time, the study doctor and their staff will conduct tests and exams to determine if you are eligible to participate in the study. If the study doctor determines you can continue in this study, you will enter the “Study Drug Administration Period”. During the study drug administration period, you will be assigned to Group 1 or Group 2 depending on when you enroll in the study. Subjects enrolled in Group 1 will receive ME-344 at a dose of 10 mg/kg intravenously (IV) on Days 1, 8, and 15 in combination with bevacizumab at a dose of 5 mg/kg IV administered on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Subjects in Group 2 will receive ME-344 at a dose of 10 mg/kg IV on Days 1 and 15 combined with bevacizumab at a dose of 5 mg/kg IV administered on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle
