Study of Nimotuzumab and Irinotecan in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The patient will receive nimotuzumab every 2 weeks plus irinotecan. Nimotuzumab will be given at a dose of 400 mg once every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. Irinotecan will be given at the same dose and schedule as the last dose and schedule given during the most recent pre-study irinotecan containing therapy. If the tumour does not show signs of further growth after 12 weeks of treatment, the patient will continue receiving nimotuzumab 400 mg every 2 weeks for up to 18 months or as long as they are getting a benefit from the drug.
