Patients with ECOG Performance status of 0 or 1. Patients, 18 years and older, must either be not of child bearing potential or have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to registration. Patients are considered not of child bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (they have undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal. Bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > or = 1,500/uL, equivalent to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 3) Grade 1. Platelets > or = 100,000/uL (CTCAE Grade 0 - 1). Renal function: creatinine < or = 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), CTCAE Grade 1. Hepatic function: bilirubin < or = 1.5 x ULN, CTCAE Grade 1. AST < or = 2.5 x ULN, CTCAE Grade 1. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Prior adjuvant therapy with 5FU/LV and/or irinotecan is allowed provided it was completed at least 6 months prior to enrollment in this study. Patents who received prior oxaliplatin. Patients who received prior cetuximab or other therapy which specifically and directly targets the EGF pathway. Patients with acute hepatitis. Patients with active or uncontrolled infection. Patients with a significant history of cardiac disease, i.e., uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, and congestive heart failure.
