- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Dose Escalation: To Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Escalating Doses of the MM-121 Plus Cetuximab and the MM-121 Plus Cetuximab Plus Irinotecan Combination From date of first dose to 30 days after termination, the longest 48.1 weeks To establish the safety of escalating doses of MM-121 in combination with cetuximab or in combination with cetuximab and irinotecan in order to determine the recommended phase 2 dose.. Dose-escalation conducted using standard 3+3 model to determine maximum tolerated dose. Reports of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) were assessed to determine the MTD.
To Further Determine the Safety Parameters of the MM-121 + Cetuximab and MM-121 + Cetuximab + Irinotecan Combination by Determining the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of the Combination(s) (Via Recording of Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)): MM-121 Doses From date of first dose to 30 days after termination, the longest 48.1 weeks Using a 3+3 dose escalation model, the maximum tolerated dose of each combination was determined by assessing dose-limiting toxicities in each cohort. RP2D = one dose lever lower than the MTD

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective Response Rate Patients were assessed for objective response from time of first dose through treatment termination, the longest treatment duration being 48.1 weeks To determine the number of patients reporting an objective response using RECIST v 1.1 where a Partial Response (PR) is defined as \>20% decrease in tumor burden from baseline and a Complete Response (CR) is defined as complete disappearance from tumor burden from baseline. Objective Response is presented as the total # patients with PR or CR.
Pharmacokinetic Parameters of MM-121 Collections taken for all patients at Cycle 1, Week 1 at pre-infusion, at the end of the infusion, and 2.5, 4, 6 and 24 hours after starting the infusion of MM-121 Pharmacokinetic (PK) evaluation was performed on plasma samples obtained weekly for the first six weeks of the study and then on day 1 of each additional cycle to assess pre-treatment trough concentrations of MM-121. Non-compartmental analysis (NCA) was performed to calculate standard PK parameters, including the AUClast. Serum levels of MM-121 were measured at a central lab using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data is presented per dose level of MM-121 (12 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg, or 40/20 mg/kg) and per study part (Part 1 or Part 2)
Immunogenicity Samples were collected for all patients pre-dose on all cycles for duration of treatment, the longest of which was 48.1 weeks, and a collection was made post-infusion in any case of infusion reaction Samples were collected to determine the presence of an immunologic reaction to MM-121 (i.e. human anti-human antibodies).
