Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Four weeks of Cycle 1 treatment (up to 28 days)

To be declared a DLT an adverse experience had a causality related to study therapy. DLTs could be adverse experiences possibly, probably, or definitely related to study therapy by the Investigator, and included the following : Grade 4 neutropenia lasting \>= 5 days; Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever \>38.5°C; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia; Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity, except inadequately treated diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, rash, hyperglycemia, and transient abnormality of electrolytes. Anemia, infusion reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, and adverse experiences not-related to study therapy did not qualify as DLTs.

Number of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE)
Approximately 4 weeks after last drug treatment (up to Day 293)

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product, is also an AE.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Human Anti-Human Antibody (HAHA)
Up to 12 weeks after the last administration of dalotuzumab (up to 349 days)
Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Dalotuzumab Following Administration of 10 mg/kg Dalotuzumab Alone in or in Combination With Cetuximab / Irinotecan
Cycle 1: Day 1 and Day 22 at predose, 0.5 h after start of infusion, end of infusion, 5, 8, 24, 30, 48, 96 and 168 h after initiation of dalotuzumab infusion
Concentration at the End of Infusion (Ceoi) of Dalotuzumab Following Administration of 10 mg/kg Dalotuzumab Alone or in Combination With Cetuximab / Irinotecan
Cycle 1: Day 1 and Day 22 at predose, 0.5 h after start of infusion, end of infusion, 5, 8, 24, 30, 48, 96 and 168 h after initiation of dalotuzumab infusion
