Documented history of symptomatic brain metastases 8. Previous diagnosis of autoimmune disease with significant organ involvement 9. History of drug-related acute infusion reaction 10. Inability to take oral medication or requirement for intravenous (IV) alimentation or total parenteral nutrition with lipids, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption 11. Presence of another invasive cancer within 5 years prior to start of active treatment, except for adequately treated basal cell skin cancer, or in situ carcinoma of the cervix 12. History of significant neurologic or psychiatric disorder (e.g., dementia, seizures, or bipolar disorder) that may impair the subject's understanding of the Informed Consent Form or ability to comply with study requirements 13. History of alcohol or substance abuse as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) criteria, within 6 months prior to start of study treatment 14. Known conditions that require concurrent treatment with a nonpermitted drug 15. Presence of a contraindication to erlotinib according to the labeling for erlotinib 16. Known hypersensitivity to the study treatment or any of its components 17. Any significant disease that, in the Investigator’s opinion, should exclude the subject from the study 18.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary Objective Phase I: •To determine the safety of matuzumab in combination with erlotinib in up to 5 different dose cohorts. Primary Objective Phase II: •To determine the tumor response rate (RR; defined as complete response [CR] plus partial response [PR]) of matuzumab in combination with erlotinib, at a single dose chosen from phase I, according to the modified World Health Organization (WHO) criteria as assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC).;Secondary Objective: Secondary Objectives Phases I and II: •To determine the rate of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD) overall and in each cohort in phase I, For subjects in the dose cohort chosen for phase II, rates will also be assessed by the IRC as part of the phase II portion of the study •To determine time to progression (TTP) for subjects receiving the phase II dose regimen •To determine overall survival (OS) for subjects receiving the phase II dose regimen •To determine duration of response for subjects receiving the phase II dose regimen •To determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of matuzumab in combination with erlotinib in all dose cohorts in the phase I portion of the study •To determine human anti-humanized antibody (HAHA) levels in serum •To obtain most recent archived tumor tissue for determination of EGFR expression and optional biomarkers •To determine overall safety;Primary end point(s): Phase I: Determination of the safety of Matuzumab in combination with Erlotinib in up to 5 dose cohorts Phase II: Tumor response rate (as determined by the IRC). Tumor assessments will be done by CT or MRI scanning obtained at screening and every 6 weeks (or sooner of medically indicated). Response assessments will be conducted according to modified WHO criteria.
