Primary Endpoints
Overall Survival (OS)
Up to 12 weeks after last dose of study drug (Up to 35 months)

The OS of participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) expressing the KRAS wild-type (wtKRAS) tumor genotype (indicating no detection of KRAS mutation) was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up. OS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and is reported in months.

Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Up to last dose of study drug (Up to 32 months)

The PFS of participants with metastatic CRC expressing the wtKRAS genotype was defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the first documented disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0 (RECIST 1.0) as documented by an independent core laboratory, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Disease progression was defined as either a 20% or greater relative increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions OR an absolute increase of at least 5mm in the sum of lesions or the appearance of new lesions. PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and is reported in months.

Percentage of Participants Who Have a Clinical or Laboratory Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 3 to 5 Toxicity
Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (Up to 33 months)

An adverse event (AE) was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure that may or may not be considered related to the medical treatment or procedure. (Grade 3=Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care activities of daily living. Grade 4=Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5=Death related to AE.) Participants were monitored for AEs until the earlier of study discontinuation or 30 days after dalotuzumab/placebo discontinuation. AE grades were assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE, version 3.0.

Percentage of Participants Who Have a Drug-related Clinical or Laboratory CTCAE Grade 3 to 5 Toxicity
Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (Up to 33 months)

An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure that may or may not be considered related to the medical treatment or procedure. (Grade 3=Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care activities of daily living. Grade 4=Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5=Death related to AE.) Drug-related AEs were those AEs that were possibly, probably, or definitely related to study drug or protocol-specified procedures. Participants were monitored for AEs related to dalotuzumab or placebo until the earlier of study discontinuation or 30 days after dalotuzumab/placebo discontinuation. AE grades were assessed using the NCI CTCAE, version 3.0.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Drug Due to an AE
Up to last dose of study drug (Up to 32 months)

An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical treatment or procedure that may or may not be considered related to the medical treatment or procedure. The percentage of participants who discontinued study drug due to an AE is presented.

Percentage of Participants Who Experience an AE of Infusion Site Reaction
Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (Up to 33 months)

The percentage of participants who experienced an AE of infusion site reaction is presented.

Dalotuzumab 10 mg/kg Q1W (DB)EXPERIMENTALIn double-blind (DB) Week 1, participants receive cetuximab 400 mg/m\^2 intravenously (IV) loading dose and irinotecan IV at their pre-study dosage. Starting with DB Week 2, participants receive cetuximab 250 mg/m\^2 IV one time each week (Q1W) maintenance dose, irinotecan IV Q1W and DB dalotuzumab 10 mg/kg IV Q1W for up to 32 months of treatment.
Dalotuzumab 15 mg/kg/7.5 mg/kg Q2W (OL)EXPERIMENTALIn the open-label (OL) portion of the study, ≥6 participants receive cetuximab 400 mg/m\^2 Q1W + irinotecan Q1W at their pre-study dosage + OL dalotuzumab (loading dose of 15 mg/kg IV followed by a maintenance dose of 7.5 mg/kg 2 weeks later) to verify the safety of the regimen. In DB Week 1, participants receive cetuximab 400 mg/m\^2 IV + irinotecan IV. In DB Week 2, participants receive cetuximab 250 mg/m\^2 IV + irinotecan IV + DB dalotuzumab 15 mg/kg IV. In DB Week 3, participants receive cetuximab 250 mg/m\^2 IV + irinotecan IV. Starting with DB Week 4, participants receive cetuximab 250 mg/m\^2 IV Q1W + irinotecan IV Q1W + DB dalotuzumab 7.5 mg/kg IV Q2W for up to 32 months of treatment.
