Cetuximab

The treatment will include cetuximab 500 mg/m² IV for 120 minutes followed by irinotecan 180 mg/m² or 60 minutes. The starting dose of irinotecan for patients who are 70 years old or greater, or who have had radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvis, or whose level of functioning is poor (performance status of 2) will have a starting dose of 150 mg/m2 for irinotecan.
