|---|---|
| Main Objective: Progression free survival time;Secondary Objective: - Efficacy in terms of: · Overall survival time · Best overall response · Time to treatment failure - Safety ;Primary end point(s): Safety run-in: To determine the MTD of cilengitide in combination with cetuximab, and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/ gemcitabine). Randomized part: To assess the efficacy of 2 cilengitide regimens in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/ gemcitabine) compared to cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy alone in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) time. | — |
