Exclusion Criteria

Current information as of 28/09/10:
1. Previous treatment with irinotecan
2. Patient has received any of the following:
2.1. Capecitabine within 14 days prior to randomisation
2.2. All other licensed cytotoxic drugs within 21 days prior to randomisation

4. Ongoing requirement for ciclosporin or any contraindicated concomitant medication, namely diltiazem, verapamil, amiodarone or fluvoxamine. Note: any prescribed short-courses of antifungals or antibiotics would not make a patient ineligible but should be completed 5 days before starting trial therapy.
5. Concurrent or previous other cancer (excluding non-melanomatous skin cancer), unresolved bowel obstruction or uncontrolled infection, uncontrolled chronic enteropathy (e.g. Crohn?s disease, ulcerative colitis), or chronic diarrhoea (=4 stools per day) of any cause
6. Major thoracic or abdominal surgery within the last 4 weeks
7. Known CNS metastases, carcinomatous meningitis or a recent history of seizures
8. Clinical/radiological evidence of interstitial pneumonitis, ulmonary fibrosis, pleural effusion or ascites causing grade =2 dyspnea
9. Any other condition, which, in the investigator?s opinion would make the patient unsuitable for participation in the trial

3. Systemic chemotherapy and/or cetuximab within 28 days before study enrollment
4. Prior anaphylactic allergic reaction to cetuximab
5. Ongoing requirement for ciclosporin or any contraindicated concomitant medication, namely: diltiazem, verapamil, amiodarone or fluvoxamine
6. Concurrent or previous other cancer (excluding non-melanomatous skin cancer), major thoracic or abdominal surgery within preceding four weeks, unresolved bowel obstruction or uncontrolled infection, chronic enteropathy (e.g. Crohn?s disease, ulcerative colitis), or chronic diarrhoea (=4 stools per day) of any cause
