Trial Information

A Phase 2, Open-label Study of IMC-1121B in Combination With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin as First-line Therapy in Patients With Stage IIIB/IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer


Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 75-80% of all lung cancers; and the advanced
stages are associated with poor survival rates with untreated patients having a median
survival rate of approximately 3.9 months.

Angiogenesis is a process that occurs in the health body for wound healing and restoring
blood flow to tissues after injury. It is the physiological proves involving the growth of
new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis may be promoted by growth factors
and in diseases such as cancer, where growth factors are over expressed, the body loses the
ability to maintain a balanced angiogenesis. This may embellish the existing supplies of
blood; potentially increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients supplies for cancer
growth and survival.

ramucirumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor; and is believed to block the promotion of the
growth factor to forming new blood vessels, thus reducing the amount of blood supplies to
the cancer cells.

In this study, 40 adult patients with NSCLC will be evaluated t=for progression-free
survival at 6 months of ramucirumab administration
