Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Patients with at least one evaluable lesion (evaluable disease) by the RECIST criteria. 7. Adequate renal function (creatinine ≤ 1.5 x UNL), liver function (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x UNL, alanine aminotransferase(ALT)\< 2.5 x UNL, aspartate aminotransferase(AST) \< 2.5 x UNL or ≤ 5 x UNL if hepatic metastasis) and leucocytes ≥ 3×10\^9, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5×10\^9/L, platelets \> 80×10\^9/L, haemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl. Electrolyte: in the normal range, or abnormal but no clinical significance (judged by the researchers), allow to give supplements to correct the electrolyte. 8.

Previous therapy with anti-EGFR drugs. 2. Patients who are receiving other accompanying antineoplastic therapy (including antitumor treatment with traditional Chinese medicine), long-term systemic immune therapy, or hormone therapy except for physiological replacement therapy (for example, people with thyroid hypofunction receive the thyroid hormone). 3. Radiotherapy or surgery (except always diagnostic biopsy). 4. Patients with known cerebral metastasis or leptomeningeal metastasis. 5.
