“All RAS WT”, - that is no mutation or changes in either KRAS NRAS

7. Received and progressed on, or intolerant of all therapies listed below, where failure is defined as radiological progression during therapy, or toxicity limiting further therapy, or progression within 6 months of prior treatment. Previous treatment should have ceased at least 14 days prior to randomisation.
- thymidylate synthase inhibitor (e.g. 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, raltitrexed, tegafur-uracil, S1) Thymidylate synthase inhibitors may have been given as monotherapy, or in combination with oxaliplatin or irinotecan

9. Adequate liver function with serum total bilirubin less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN, and both ALT and AST are less than or equal to 5.0 x ULN, within 14 days prior to randomization. Patients with Gilbert’s syndrome may be included as long as unconjugated bilirubin levels fall within these parameters;
10. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks;
11. Study treatment both planned and able to start within 14 days of randomisation;
12. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including treatment, timing and/or nature of required assessments;
13. Signed, written informed consent;
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Prior treatment with cetuximab or other drugs targeting the EGFR pathway, such as panitumumab, gefitinib , erlotinib; 2. Severe restrictive lung disease or radiological pulmonary findings of “interstitial lung disease” on the baseline chest CT which, in the opinion of the investigator, represents significant pathology; 3. Brain metastases that are either untreated, symptomatic, or which have not been stable for at least one month after treatment; 4. History of other malignancies except where treated with curative intent AND with no current evidence of disease AND considered not to be at risk of future recurrence; 5. Concurrent illness, including severe infection that may jeopardize the ability of the patient to undergo the procedures outlined in this protocol with reasonable safety; 6. Presence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule, including alcohol dependence or drug abuse; 7. Pregnancy, lactation, or inadequate contraception. Women must be post menopausal, infertile, or use a reliable means of contraception. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done within 7 days prior to registration. Men must have been surgically sterilised or use a (double if required) barrier method of contraception.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The study population will consist of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with either KRAS WT or KRAS G13D mutation. Once a patient completed all screening procedures and is confirmed eligible the will be randomised to either cetuximab monptherapy ( Arm A) or cetuximab in combination with irinotecan ( Arm B) . Randomisation will either be done via the electronic case report form ( INFORM) or via telephone randomisation with the NHMRC clinical trials centre.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Treatment will be allocated using the minimization method, patients will be stratified by KRAS status : KRAS WT vs KRAS G13D and site.

Summary
Brief summary
Who is it for?
You can join this study if you have metastatic colorectal cancer and have either a KRAS wild type or KRAS G13D mutation

Trial details:
Patients that pass all screening assessments, including CT scan and blood test will randomly divided into two groups. One group wiil receive cetuximab alone ( Arm A) and the other group will receive cetuximab in combination with irinotecan ( Arm B). In both groups, the chemotherapy is given intravenously. Cetuximab is administered weekly to both groups and patients in Arm B will receive irinotecan every 14 days. The study aims to evaluate the response to the different therapy regimens, by looking at the response on CT scans, survival rates and quality of life.
