| Main Objective: To assess the activity of a combination of cetuximab (weekly) with carboplatin + paclitaxel (every three weeks) comparing it to chemotherapy alone in terms of event-free survival (EFS).;Secondary Objective: ·Toxicity ·Overall survival (OAS) ·Skin toxicity and correlation with cetuximab activity ·EGFR/KRAS expression and correlation with cetuximab activity;Primary end point(s): Event-free survival (EFS) | — |
