Title:
Perioperative ramucirumab in combination with FLOT versus FLOT alone for resectable esophagogastric adenocarcinoma (RAMSES/FLOT7): Results of the phase II-portion—A multicenter, randomized phase II/III trial of the German AIO and Italian GOIM.
Excerpt:Pts with resectable, Her2-negative, adenocarcinoma of the stomach and GEJ (≥ cT2 or cN+) were enrolled...91% of pts with FLOT and 92% with FLOT-RAM completed the 4 pre- cycles. R0-resection (in the full set) could be achieved in 83% of pts with FLOT and 97% of pts with FLOT-RAM (p = 0.0049). The rate of major path response was similar in both arms and was 30% for FLOT and 27% for FLOT-RAM. Surgical morbidity was observed in 37% of pts with FLOT and 44% of pts with FLOT-RAM. Mortality was 2.5% with FLOT and 5.9% with FLOT-RAM including GEJ type I tumors and dropped to 2.9% in both arms after excluding type I tumors per amendment.

Title:
Identifying prognostic factors associated with overall survival in second-line paclitaxel plus ramucirumab treated human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced/recurrent gastric cancer
Excerpt:This study aimed to identify the overall survival prolongation index in patients who received paclitaxel plus ramucirumab as second line chemotherapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) 2-negative advanced/ recurrent gastric cancer (AGC)…. In the multivariate analysis, grade ≥1 neutropenia (yes) and the number of anti-cancer drugs used (≥5) were independently and significantly associated with survival....This study demonstrated that AGC patients with initial neutropenia may benefit from paclitaxel plus ramucirumab therapy.
