Excerpt:
After progression to first-line treatment,
65 patients (69%) were treated with ramucirumab in association with paclitaxel or as a single-agent, while 29 (31%) received taxanes (10%) or fluoropyrimidine-based
chemotherapy regimens combined with irinotecan (21%)....At subgroup analyses, patients treated with ramucirumab-based regimens who had elevated baseline LDH levels had a trend towards worse PFS (HR 2.76, 95% CI 1.09-6.94, p¼0.031) (p of interaction 0.31) and OS (HR 4.29, 95% CI 1.59-11.51, p¼0.004) (p of interaction¼0.096).
