Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m\^2 was administered IV once weekly (on Day 1) for 7 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest period. In subsequent cycles, gemcitabine was given once weekly (on Day 1) for 3 consecutive weeks followed by 1 week of rest. Panitumumab and gemcitabine treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, death, or study withdrawal occurred.
