Purpose The clinical objective of this trial was to evaluate gefitinib in patients with metastatic
colorectal cancer that had progressed despite prior treatment. Serial tumor biopsies were
performed when possible and analyzed for activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor
(EGFR) signaling pathway. Serial serum samples were measured for amphiregulin and
transforming growth factor–alpha (TGF).
