Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To explore whether Muc 2, Muc 3, CFTR, SERPINB-5, BMP-2, BTC, TLN2, EPHA1, HMGCoA or Spondin expression can predict response to CETUXIMAB treatment.;Secondary Objective: - To determine the feasibility of escalating the weekly dose of Cetuximab beyond 250 mg/m2 - To evaluate the relationship between grade =2 skin rash and tumour response rate - To describe any evidence of anti-tumour activity observed with cetuximab - To further characterised the safety and tolerability of standard and escalated weekly doses of cetuximab;Primary end point(s): The primary end point will be the tumoral response according a modified form of the WHO (WHO handbook of reporting results of cancer treatment, Geneva, 1979). All patients who received at least one dose of cetuximab will be considered evaluable for response, unless it is determined that the subject's diagnosis of metastatic colorectal cancer was made in error or the subject does not have measurable disease.
