Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Histology and stagesHistologically proven adenocarcinoma in the colon or rectum - At least 1 measurable metastatic disease manifestation according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1) - Potentially completely resectable or potentially curable metastatic colorectal cancer as determined by the local MDT conference and that requires tumour shrinkage before resection is possible. The following definitions are indicative: -- 4 or more liver metastases (CRLeM) without extra-hepatic disease -- 2 or more lung metastases (CRLuM) without hepatic or extra-hepatic disease -- 1 or more CRLeM determined as "potentially resectable" (such as because of location) by the local MDT. -- 1 or more CRLuM determined by the local MDT as potentially resectable (such as because of location). -- Non-resectable primary disease with resectable CRLeM or CRLuM. KRAS and BRAF status - Tumour tissue (primary or metastasis) typed as wild-type KRAS AND wild-type BRAF General conditions - age > 18 years - WHO performance status = 1; - expected survival > 3 months - sufficient bone-marrow function (Hb = 6.2 µmol/l/Hb > 10 g/dl ANC = 1.5 x 109/l, thrombocytes = 100 x 109/l) - sufficient kidney and liver function: total bilirubin = 1.5 x upper normal limit, serum creatinine = 1.25 x upper normal limit, ALAT = 3 x upper normal limit and = 5 x upper normal limit with liver metastases - the patient must have signed an informed declaration of consent before being registered; this must be documentable according to national guidelines 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

Exclusion criteria: Previous treatment - previous chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic disease - adjuvant chemotherapy unless completed more than 6 months before registration - previous treatment with oxaliplatin or irinotecan - previous treatment with cetuximab or other treatment for EGFR - History of Inflammatory Bowel disease - Severe or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure NYHA III or IV, unstable angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction within the last twelve months, significant arrhythmias) - Any condition that, according to the treating physician's judgement, could prevent the planned medical/surgical treatment from being carried out responsibly (such as uncontrolled active infection, known hypersensitivity or contra-indication for the planned treatment. - Pregnant or breast-feeding women - Patients of fertile age who do not want to use reliable contraception
