          -  Subjects with a prior history of DVT/PE, who have not been on stable doses of
             anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin or oral anticoagulant for at least
             two weeks.

          -  History of arterial thromboembolic event in past 6 months (including CVA, MI).

          -  Systemic anti-cancer treatment within 2 weeks, all ongoing adverse events related to

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Adverse Events that occur
Time Frame:Every 14 day cycle for up to 2 years - Patients are expected to be on treatment for an average of 6 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Investigate the safety and tolerability of 14-day cycles of nivolumab plus bevacizumab. Adverse events will be collected for each subject that received the study treatment combination.

Safety Issue:
Description:To examine the effect of the study treatment combination on the rate of progression-free survival (PFS). Subjects will have regular imaging scans to measure disease status and response will be defined by RECIST1.1.
Measure:Overall Survival
Time Frame:3 years after treatment stops
Safety Issue:
Description:To examine the effect of the study treatment combination on the rate of overall survival.
