Safety and Efficacy Study of FOLFOX4+Panitumumab vs.FOLFIRI+Panitumumab in Subjects WT KRAS Colorectal Cancer and Liver-only Metastases

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Panitumumab with FOLFOX 4 Chemotherapy or Panitumumab with FOLFIRI Chemotherapy in Subjects with Wild- Type KRAS Colorectal Cancer and liver-only Metastases.

* At least 1 uni-dimensionally measurable lesion
* Patients with the following characteristics will be included:

  1. Recurrence after adjuvant treatment with 5-fluorouracil/folinic acid or capecitabine +/- radiotherapy with a disease-free interval \> than 6 months after its completion; or after oxaliplatin containing adjuvant treatment with a disease-free interval \> than 12 months
  2. Recurrence after surgical treatment and/or radiotherapy with no adjuvant systemic treatment.
  3. De novo diagnosis of the disease.
* Patients with simultaneous liver metastases are eligible, if the primary tumor has been resected at least 1 month prior chemotherapy.
* Prior radiotherapy is acceptable.
* Patients deemed to have no major contra-indication to liver surgery from a general health perspective.
* Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%
* Adequate bone marrow function: neutrophils ≥ 1.5 x109/ L; platelets ≥ 100 x109/ L;hemoglobin ≥ 9g/ dL
* Hepatic and metabolic function as follows:

Total bilirubin count ≤ 1.5 x ULN and not increasing more than 25% within the last 4 weeks; ALAT and ASAT \< 5 x ULN;

* Renal function, calculated creatinine clearance or 24 hour creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/ min.
* Magnesium \> LLN

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prior anti-EGFr antibody therapy (eg, cetuximab) or treatment small molecule EGFr tyrosine kinase inhibitors (eg, erlotinib).Subjects who have experienced an infusion reaction to their first dose of anti-EGFR therapy (cetuximab) may participate in this clinical trial.
* Surgery (not including diagnostic biopsy) and/or radiotherapy in the 4 weeks prior to inclusion in the study.
* Metastasis on any site other than the liver, including extrahepatic lymph nodes.
* Prior malignant tumor in the last 5 years, except a history of basal cell carcinoma of the skin or pre-invasive carcinoma of the skin.
* Systemic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy or experimental or approved proteins/antibodies (eg, bevacizumab) ≤ 30 days before inclusion
* Unresolved toxicities from prior systemic therapy that, in the opinion of the investigator, does not qualify the patient for inclusion

* Any co-morbid disease that would increase risk of toxicity
* Any kind of disorder that compromises the ability of the subject to give written informed consent and/or comply with the study procedures
* Any investigational agent within 30 days before enrolment
* Must not have had a major surgical procedure within 28 days of randomization
* Subject who is pregnant or breast feeding
