Patient has previously failed both irinotecan and oxaliplatin containing regimens and should have progressed on or within 3 months of completing their last line of therapy with objective radiological evidence of progression. 4. Patient is male or female, and =18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent. 5. Patient has performance status 0-1 on the ECOG Performance Scale. 6. Patient has adequate organ function as indicated by the following laboratory values: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) =1,500/mcL Platelets =100,000/mcL Hemoglobin =9 g/dL-without qualifications, use of erythropoietin and transfusions are allowed Serum Creatinine/calculated creatine clearance =2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)/ =60 mL/min (patients with creatinine levels =2 times the ULN).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patient who has had chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or biological therapy within 2 weeks prior to initial dosing on this study or whose toxicities from agents administered 2 weeks earlier have not resolved to at least grade 1 or baseline. 2. Patient is currently participating or has participated in a study with an investigational compound or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer, of initial dosing on this study. 3. Patient has experienced intolerable toxicity to irinotecan therapy. 4. Patient has prior exposure to IGF-1R inhibitors or EGFR inhibitors (e.g. cetuximab). 5. Patient has CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. 6. Patient has primary central nervous system tumor. 7. Patient has a known hypersensitivity to the components of study drugs or its analogs that is not treatable by premedication with antihistamines and steroids. 8. Patient has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or lab abnormality that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate. 9. Patient with a history of a prior malignancy with the exception of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; basal cell carcinoma of the skin; adequately treated localized prostate carcinoma with PSA <1.0; who has undergone potentially curative therapy with no evidence of that disease for five years, or who is deemed at low risk for recurrence by his/her treating physician. 10. Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive within the projected duration of the study. 11. Patient is known to be Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-positive. 12.
