Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Arm I (erlotinib, gemcitabine, cixutumumab)
Arm II (erlotinib, gemcitabine)
Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride PO once daily on days 1-28, gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15, and cixutumumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients receive erlotinib hydrochloride and gemcitabine hydrochloride as in arm I. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
