Response Rate for the Combination Treatment Primary · 6 months since the start of treatment

The tumor response rate (RR) will be defined as the total number of subjects whose best response is partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) during the first six months of treatment, divided by the number of subjects.

GroupValue95% CI
Cetuximab, Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin21
Toxicity Rates Secondary · 1 year since the first treatment and every year after for up to 10 years

\# of subjects who experienced \>= grade 1 adverse event that is positively related to treatment.

GroupValue95% CI
Cetuximab, Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin36
Time to Progression Secondary · 6 months since the start of treatment and every 3 months after treatment for up to 10 years

Time to Treatment Failure (progression or death) will be defined as the time from the first day of treatment until the date Progressive Disease (PD) or death is first reported. Subjects who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Subjects who did not progress will be censored at the day of their last tumor assessment.

GroupValue95% CI
Cetuximab, Capecitabine and Oxaliplatin27543 – 2822
Survival Secondary · 6 months since the start of treatment and every 3 months after treatment for up to 10 years

Survival will be defined as the number of days from the first day of therapy to the date of death. If the subject is lost to follow-up, survival will be censored on the last date the subject was known to be alive.
