Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization (Cycle 1 Day 1) to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 3 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: From randomization (Cycle 1 Day 1) to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 3 years) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 70
Study Start Date: July 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: September 2015
Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Arm A: Dalotuzumab + Irinotecan Drug: Dalotuzumab
Dalotuzumab will be administered intravenously after the completion of irinotecan infusion at a dose of 10 mg/kg once weekly.
Other Name: MK-0646
Drug: Irinotecan
Irinotecan 180 mg/m^2 will be administered intravenously once every two weeks either prior to dalotuzumab (Arm A) or after cetuximab (Arm B). Pre-medication at the discretion of the investigator, such as with dexamethasone or atropine will follow local, or country-specific standard of care.
Other Name: Camptosar
Active Comparator: Arm B: Cetuximab + Irinotecan Drug: Irinotecan
Irinotecan 180 mg/m^2 will be administered intravenously once every two weeks either prior to dalotuzumab (Arm A) or after cetuximab (Arm B). Pre-medication at the discretion of the investigator, such as with dexamethasone or atropine will follow local, or country-specific standard of care.
Other Name: Camptosar
Drug: Cetuximab
Cetuximab will be administered intravenously prior to irinotecan at an initial dose of 400 mg/m^2 followed by weekly infusions of 250 mg/m^2. Pre-medication at the discretion of the investigator, such as with a histamine receptor antagonist or corticosteroid, will follow local, or country-specific standard of care.
Other Name: Erbitux
