Experimental: Panitumumab
Panitumumab: 6 mg/Kg Q2W Treatment cycles repeated every 14 days. Subjects will be evaluated for tumour response every 3 cycles (6 wks ± 1 wk) the first 24 weeks and every 8 weeks ± 2 weeks thereafter (per the revised-RECIST 1.1 guideline) until PD or withdrawal from the trial.
