Brief summary

The primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research question(s): * To see how the body absorbs, processes, and gets rid of cetuximab when the drug is taken in combination with carboplatin \[pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis\] * To see if any drug interactions occur between cetuximab and carboplatin.

Inclusion criteria

* The participant has histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced solid tumor that is resistant to standard therapy or for which there is no standard therapy. * The participant has measurable or non-measurable disease according to RECIST 1.0 guidelines. * The participant has a life expectancy of greater than 3 months. * The participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2. * The participant has adequate hematologic function as defined by absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1500/microliter (μL), hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 grams/deciliter (g/dL), and platelet count greater than or equal to 100,000/μL. * The participant has adequate hepatic function as defined by a total bilirubin less than or equal to 2 x the upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate transaminase (AST, SGOT) and alanine transaminase (ALT, SGPT) less than or equal to 3 x the ULN (or less than or equal to 5 x the ULN in the presence of known liver metastases). * The participant has adequate renal function as defined by serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x the institutional ULN or creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 mL/min for participants with creatinine levels above the ULN. * The participant has the ability to understand, and the willingness to sign, a written informed consent document. * If the participant has received prior therapy with platinum, the time to the first treatment of study drug from the last platinum exposure is \>28 days.
