The study will enroll approximately 33 EGFr positive chemotherapy-naive stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients. Patients will receive cetuximab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for two cycles or until disease progression or until the patient exhibits intolerable toxicities. Patients will be evaluated for efficacy and safety throughout the duration of the study.

1: Experimental
An initial dose of cetuximab (400 mg/m2 i.v. over 120 minutes) will be administered 1 week prior to the initiation of chemotherapy. Thereafter, cetuximab will be infused weekly at maintenance doses of 250 mg/m2 (over 60 minutes). On the first day of each cycle (every 3 weeks) of therapy, a 3-hour paclitaxel (225 mg/m2) infusion will be administered 1-hour post completion of the cetuximab infusion, immediately followed by a 30-minute carboplatin (AUC=6) infusion.

The study will enroll approximately 33 chemotherapy-naive stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients. Patients will receive 3-week cycles of therapy with the exception of the initial cycle where the patients will receive 4 cycles of therapy. Patients will be enrolled after EGFr expression is confirmed and the study inclusion and exclusion criteria are met. An initial dose of cetuximab will be administered prior to the initiation of chemotherapy. Thereafter, cetuximab will be infused weekly. On the first day of each cycle, a paclitaxel infusion will be administered post completion of the cetuximab infusion, immediately followed by a carboplatin infusion. Patients will receive cetuximab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for two cycles or until disease progression or until the patient exhibits intolerable toxicities. Patients will be evaluated for a tumor response at the end of every two cycles of therapy and evaluated for safety throughout the study.
