PURPOSE This clinical trial is studying how well cetuximab works in treating patients with Ménétrier disease at high risk of developing stomach cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Evaluate clinical and biochemical parameter response in patients with Ménétrier disease at high risk of developing gastric cancer treated with cetuximab
OUTLINE This is a non-randomized study
Patients receive cetuximab IV on days 1 8 15 and 22 Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
