Patients previously treated with two treatment lines Cetuximab group (n = 23) BSC group (n = 35) P values

Age, median (years) 64 60 p < 0.05
PS 0 26% 6% p < 0.05

Rectum 35% 31%

Mean total treatment duration (days) 398 264 p < 0.05
Mean treatment duration prior to BSC or cetuximab (days) 268 264 NS (p = 0.9)
  1. BSC best supportive care, NS not significant, PS performance status
  2. aSeverity as scored with the Charlson Index; the presence of mCRC leads to an automatic score of 6 as baseline
