Summary

This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter Phase II study evaluating folinic acid + fluorouracil + irinotecan (FOLFIRI) plus cetuximab (Erbitux) or folinic acid + fluorouracil + oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) plus cetuximab as first-line therapy of patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.

Only subjects with k-ras oncogene (KRAS) wild-type tumors are eligible. Efficacy will be assessed every 8 weeks. Treatment will be continued until progressive disease or unacceptable adverse events occur. After the end of study treatment, information on further anticancer treatment and survival will be collected every 3 months.

Cetuximab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 500 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) biweekly on Day 1 of 14 days treatment cycle until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.

DRUG

FOLFIRI

Irinotecan will be administered intravenously at a dose of 180 mg/m\^2 along with folinic acid administration intravenously at a dose of 400 mg/m\^2 (racemic) or 200 mg/m\^2 (L-form) and 5-fluorouracil will be administered intravenously at a dose of 400 mg/m\^2 bolus followed by a 46-hour continuous infusion of 2,400 mg/m\^2 given biweekly until disease progression, death, or consent withdrawal.

DRUG

FOLFOX

Oxaliplatin will be administered intravenously at a dose of 100 mg/m\^2 along with folinic acid administration intravenously at a dose of 400 mg/m\^2 (racemic) or 200 mg/m\^2 (L-form) and 5-fluorouracil administration intravenously at a dose of 400 mg/m\^2 bolus followed by a 46-hour continuous infusion of 2,400 mg/m\^2 given biweekly until disease progression, death, or consent withdrawal.
