Summary:

      This phase II trial studies how well fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan
      hydrochloride (FOLFIRI) together with panitumumab work in treating patients with colorectal
      cancer that expresses the RAS and B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF)
      wild-type genes, has spread from the original site of growth to another part of the body
      (metastatic), resists the effects of treatment with prior cetuximab (or panitumumab) plus
      irinotecan hydrochloride-based therapy, and who have failed at least one subsequent
      non-anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) containing treatment regimen. Drugs used in
      chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan hydrochloride, work in
      different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping
      them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug
      (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as
      panitumumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving
      FOLFIRI together with panitumumab may be an effective treatment for colorectal cancer.
