OPUS study design Cetuximab + FOLFOX-4 400 mg/m2 initial IV infusion (day 1) then 250 mg/m2 weekly + oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 + 5-FU/FA every 2 weeks EGFR-expressing metastatic CRC R FOLFOX-4 oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 + 5-FU/FA every 2 weeks Stratification factors: ECOG PS 0-1, 2 Treatment until progression, symptomatic deterioration or unacceptable toxicity

Association between skin reactions and response rate Cetuximab + FOLFOX-4, n=168 (IRC data) n=23 n=59 n=62 n=24 Maximum skin reactions during first 21 days of treatment *There were no grade 4 skin reactions
Safety in treated patients †Includes peripheral sensory neuropathy and neuropathy.*Special AE category**There were no grade 4 skin reactions or acne-like rash
Conclusions • The addition of cetuximab to FOLFOX-4 increased the RR of FOLFOX-4 by approximately 10% (45.6% vs 35.7%). There was an approximately 50% higher chance of achieving a CR or PR for those patients receiving cetuximab plus FOLFOX-4 (OR = 1.52) • Patients with baseline ECOG PS 0-1 had a statistically significant higher (65%; OR = 1.65) chance for response (49.0% vs 36.8%) • Analysis of prognostic factors for response uniformly showed an increased chance of a response by 50 to >100% in most subgroups under cetuximab plus FOLFOX-4 compared to FOLFOX-4 alone • Cetuximab in combination with FOLFOX - 4 was generally well-tolerated
