Measure
IMC-1121B (Ramucirumab )
Participants received IMC-1121B (ramucirumab), administered via intravenous infusion every 2 weeks at a dose of 8 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg), plus best supportive care (BSC) as determined appropriate by the investigator(s). Treatment continued until there was evidence of progressive disease (PD), the development of unacceptable toxicity, protocol noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent.
Placebo
Participants received placebo by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks plus BSC as determined appropriate by the investigator(s). Because investigators and ancillary medical personnel were blinded as to assignment to active therapy versus placebo, the volume of placebo administered was calculated as if it were active product with a dose of 8 mg/kg. Treatment continued until there was evidence of PD, the development of unacceptable toxicity, protocol noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent.

ORR is equal to the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR and PR were defined using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0). CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, no appearance of new lesions and confirmed at the consecutive tumor assessment. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum LD), no progression of non-target lesions, no appearance of new lesions and confirmed at a subsequent tumor assessment.

Timeframe: Randomization up to 17 months post-randomization

Population: Zero participants were analyzed. The number of all responders (participants with CR or PR) was too small for a meaningful analysis, as specified in the statistical analysis plan.

DOR is the interval from date of initial documented response (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]) to first documented date of disease progression (PD) or death as a result of any cause. CR and PR were defined using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0). CR is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, no appearance of new lesions and confirmed at the consecutive tumor assessment. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum LD), no progression of non-target lesions, no appearance of new lesions and confirmed at a subsequent tumor assessment. Participants who did not relapse or die were censored at the time of the last adequate objective tumor assessment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to Cycle 10 (18 weeks [1 cycle=2 weeks])

Population: All randomized participants with EORTC QLQ-C30 values at baseline and any point up to 18 weeks post-baseline.

EORTC QLQ-C30 v3.0 is a self-administered questionnaire with multidimensional scales that measures 5 functional domains (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), global health status, and symptom scales of fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation and diarrhea, and financial difficulties. A linear transformation is applied to standardize the raw scores to range between 0 and 100 per developer guidelines. For functional domains and global health status, higher scores represent a better level of functioning. For symptoms scales, higher scores represented a greater degree of symptoms. Best change from baseline results determined by Least Square (LS) mean estimated with randomization stratification factors and baseline value as continuous covariate.

Measure
IMC-1121B (Ramucirumab)
n=236 participants at risk
Participants received IMC-1121B (ramucirumab), administered via intravenous infusion every 2 weeks at a dose of 8 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg), plus best supportive care (BSC) as determined by the investigator(s). Treatment continued until there was evidence of progressive disease (PD), the development of unacceptable toxicity, protocol noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent.
Placebo
n=115 participants at risk
Participants received placebo by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks plus best supportive care as determined appropriate by the investigator(s). Because investigators and ancillary medical personnel were blinded as to assignment to active therapy versus placebo, the volume of placebo administered was calculated as if it were active product with a dose of 8 mg/kg. Treatment continued until there was evidence of PD, the development of unacceptable toxicity, protocol noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent.
