Exclusion Criteria:

• History of severe anti-EGFR toxicity requiring drug discontinuation or dose-modification within the first 4 months of prior anti-EGFR therapy
• History of intolerance to irinotecan at dose-intensity of 125 mg/m^2/2 weeks or lower

• Co-medication that may interfere with study results; e.g. immuno-suppressive agents other than corticosteroids, such as systemic cyclosporine and tacrolimus
• No St John's wort supplement or other herbal supplementation is allowed while on trial; patients are not to take grapefruit juice during study treatment
• Use of drugs known to inhibit UDP glycosyltransferase 1 family, polypeptide A1 gene (UGT1A1), such as Atazanavir, Gemfibrozil, Indinavir, or Ketoconazole while on study treatment; (patients using these drugs must not take these drugs on the day study treatment begins and for the duration of study treatment)

• Pregnant women and women who are lactating; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is enrolled on this study
• Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliance with clinical study procedures, e.g., infection/inflammation, intestinal obstruction, unable to swallow medication, social/psychological issues, etc
• Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics)
