therapy is allowed if at least 6 months has elapsed between completion of
adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy and enrolment into the study; the total dose of
cisplatin should be less than 300mg/m2, adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy with oxaplatin
is not allowed).

2. No prior use of EGFR-targeting drugs,such as Trastuzumab,lapatinib or other TKIs.

3. Lack of physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract or malabsorption
syndrome (e.g. patients with partial or total gastrectomy can enter the study, but
not those with a jejunostomy probe).

4. Patients with active (significant or uncontrolled) gastrointestinal bleeding.

5. Residual relevant toxicity resulting from previous therapy (with the exception of
alopecia), e.g. neurological toxicity ≥ grade 2 NCI-CTCAE 4.0.

109/L.

8. Serum bilirubin > 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); or, AST or ALT > 2.5 × ULN(or >
5 × ULN in patients with liver metastases); or, alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 × ULN (or
> 5 × ULN in patients with liver metastases, or > 10 × ULN in patients with bone but
no liver metastases); or, albumin < 25 g/L.

9. Creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min.

10. History of documented congestive heart failure; angina pectoris requiring
medication;evidence of transmural myocardial infarction on ECG; poorly controlled
hypertension (systolic BP > 180 mmHg or diastolic BP > 100 mmHg); clinically
significant valvular heart disease; or high risk uncontrollable arrhythmias.

controlled diabetes.

contraception.

20. Received any investigational drug treatment within 4 weeks of start of study
treatment.

21. Radiotherapy within 4 weeks of start of study treatment (2 week interval allowed if
palliative radiotherapy given to bone metastastic site peripherally and patient
recovered from any acute toxicity;prior adjuvant radiotherapy is allowed if complete
at least 6 months ).

22. Major surgery within 4 weeks of start of study treatment, without complete recovery.

23. Patients with known active infection with HIV, HBV, or HCV.

24. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs.
