Dette randomiserede forsøg med patienter med metastatisk colorectal- cancer, som tidligere havde fået behandling med oxaliplatin, irinotecan plus fluoropyrimidin for metastatisk sygdom, sammenlignede kombinationen af cetuximab som enkeltstof sammen med "bedste understøttende pleje" ("best supportive care", BSC) (287 patienter) med "bedste understøttende pleje" alene (285 patienter).
