Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: Progression free survival time
Primary end point(s): Safety run-in: To determine the MTD of cilengitide in combination with cetuximab, and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/ gemcitabine).

Randomized part: To assess the efficacy of 2 cilengitide regimens in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/ gemcitabine) compared to cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy alone in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) time.
Secondary Objective: - Efficacy in terms of:
· Overall survival time
· Best overall response
· Time to treatment failure

- Safety
