n=64 Participants
cetuximab: Cetuximab will be administered intravenously weekly at the maximum tolerated dose (determined in Phase I portion of the study) on a 28 day cycle. Participants will be in this study for at least 2 cycles (8 weeks). If the evaluations show that this treatment has been effective against the participant's cancer, he/she will continue the therapy. erlotinib: Erlotinib will be taken by mouth daily on a 28 day cycle. It is in tablet form. The dose will be determined in Phase I portion of the study. Participants will be in this study for at least 2 cycles (8 weeks). If the evaluations show that this treatment has been effective against the participant's cancer, he/she will continue the therapy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Patients will be followed until death

Population: 44 patients were enrolled into the Phase II portion of the study

In the Phase II portion of the study, patients will be followed for both disease free progression by capturing disease progression date and for over all survival by capturing death date.
