Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Pertuzumab plus Erlotinib Hydrochloride	Pertuzumab	Pertuzumab 840 mg intravenous (IV) single loading dose followed by 420 mg IV every 3 weeks Erlotinib hydrochloride 150 mg/day by mouth

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Response Rate by RECIST Criteria	CT imaging every 9 weeks while on protocol

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Survival (OS)	1 year
Quality of Life (QoL)	3 weeks	Quality of life as assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire
Progression-free Survival (PFS)	9 weeks	Disease status evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scan and progression-free survival assessed per RECIST criteria. Tumor response was assessed by the IRF according to RECIST v1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and (if applicable) normalization of tumor marker levels. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 percent (%) decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions in reference to Baseline sum LD. Response was to be confirmed ≥4 weeks after the initial assessment of CR or PR. The percentage of participants with a confirmed objective response of CR or PR was reported.
No. of Events of Drug-related Toxicity	3 weeks	Number of incidences of serious and non-serious drug-related adverse events
Proportion of Participants With 50% Decrease in Tumor Marker	3 weeks	Change in tumor marker CA19-9, assessed as a 50% decrease from baseline
