117 Background: Ramucirumab (RAM) is approved for treatment of advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma with disease progression after prior platinum and/or fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy at 8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W). Previous phase 3 trials indicated that efficacy of RAM correlated with exposure. While the primary objectives of the open-label RAM monotherapy JVDB study were pharmacokinetics and safety, a secondary analysis was conducted on efficacy and safety of the 3 higher exposure regimens vs. the standard regimen. Methods: Patients ( n = 164) were randomized 1:1:1:1 to 4 treatment arms: 8 mg/kg Q2W (Arm 1), 12 mg/kg Q2W (Arm 2), 6 mg/kg every week (Arm 3), and 8 mg/kg Days 1 and 8 (D1D8) every 3 weeks (Q3W) (Arm 4). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were graded by NCI CTCAE v4.0. Tumor response was assessed by RECIST 1.1. Results: Median (months) progression-free survival (PFS) of the 3 arms and overall survival (OS) of 2 arms was increased compared to the standard regimen (Table). Best overall response was partial response (Arm 2, n = 4; Arm 3, n = 2). The majority of patients experienced ≥1 TEAE (81.4%); 39.1% had ≥1 Grade ≥3 event and 26.7% had ≥1 serious event. The most frequent Grade ≥3 events were fatigue (5.6%), abdominal pain (5.05%), hypertension (5.0%), anemia (4.3%), and vomiting (3.7%). Conclusions: Although the study was not powered for statistical comparisons, some trends toward improved efficacy vs. the standard regimen were observed; the greatest median PFS months and OS improvement was 1 month (Arm 2 vs. Arm 1; PFS = 2.50 vs. 1.45; OS = 6.74 vs. 5.68). Despite higher RAM exposures with the experimental regimens, the safety profile is similar to the standard dose regimen, and no unexpected safety findings were observed.
