Evaluation of the combined ME + MC populations found that the median OS in the ramucirumab + FOLFIRI arm compared with placebo + FOLFIRI showed an improvement of 2.4 months in the high VEGF-D subgroup [13.9 months...versus 11.5 months..., respectively], and a decrease of 0.5 month in the low VEGF-D subgroup [12.6 months...versus 13.1 months..., respectively]....The RAISE biomarker program identified VEGF-D as a potential predictive biomarker for ramucirumab efficacy in second-line mCRC.
