Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to Date of Death from Any Cause Up to 39.36 Months ]
    OS was defined as the time in months from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For participants not known to have died as of the cut-off date, OS was censored at the last known date alive.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) Time [ Time Frame: Randomization to Measured PD or Date of Death from Any Cause Up to 38.01 Months ]
    PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) [according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v). 1.1] or death due to any cause, whichever was first. PD is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm). Participants who died without a reported prior progression were considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Participants who did not progress or were lost to follow-up were censored at the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving an Objective Response (Objective Response Rate) [ Time Frame: Randomization until Disease Progression Up to 38.01 Months ]
    The objective response rate is equal to the proportion of participants achieving a best overall response of partial response or complete response (PR + CR). Response was defined using RECIST, v. 1.1 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm and normalization of tumor marker level of non-target lesions; PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameter.

  3. Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] QLQ-C30 Global Health Status [ Time Frame: Baseline Up to 171 Weeks ]
    The EORTC QLQ-C30 (v. 3.0) is a self-administered, cancer-specific questionnaire with multidimensional scales assessing 15 domains (5 functional domains, 9 symptoms, and global health status). A linear transformation was applied to standardize the raw scores to range between 0 and 100 per developer guidelines. For the functional domains and global health status scale, higher scores represent a better level of functioning. For symptom scales, higher scores represent a greater degree of symptoms. Maximum improvement is the best post-baseline change.

  4. Change From Baseline in EuroQol- 5D (EQ-5D) [ Time Frame: Baseline and 30-Day Follow-Up (FU) up to 171 Weeks ]
    The EQ-5D is a generic, multidimensional, health status instrument. The profile allows participants to rate their health state in 5 health domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and mood using a 3-level scale (no problem, some problems, and major problems). These combinations of attributes were converted into a weighted health-state Index Score according to the United Kingdom (UK) population-based algorithm. The possible values for the Index Score ranged from -0.59 (severe problems in all 5 dimensions) to 1.0 (no problem in any dimension). A negative change indicated a worsening of the participant's health status.

  5. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Anti-Ramucirumab Antibodies [ Time Frame: Cycles 1, 3, 5, and 30-Day FU ]
    Blood samples were tested to determine if a participant reacted to ramucirumab by producing anti-ramucirumab antibodies. Samples were identified as treatment emergent anti-drug antibody (TE ADA) if the post-treatment sample had an increase of at least 4 fold in titer from pre-treatment values. If the pre-treatment value was not detected or was not present, a 1:20 post-treatment titer was required to indicate treatment emergence. The percentage of participants with TE ADA was calculated as: (the number of participants with TE ADA / total number of participants with at least 1 post-treatment immunogenicity sample analyzed)*100.

  6. Observed Maximum Concentration (Cmax) and Observed Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of Ramucirumab [ Time Frame: Preinfusion and 1 hour postinfusion in Cycles 3, 5, 9, 13, and 17 ]

  • The participant has received first-line combination therapy of bevacizumab, oxaliplatin, and a fluoropyrimidine for metastatic disease and, a) Experienced radiographic disease progression during first-line therapy, or b) Experienced radiographic disease progression ≤6 months after the last dose of first-line therapy, or c) Discontinued part or all of first-line therapy due to toxicity and experienced radiographic disease progression ≤6 months after the last dose of first-line therapy. Note that a participant must have received a minimum of 2 doses of bevacizumab as part of a first-line regimen containing chemotherapy; in addition, a participant must have received at least 1 cycle of first-line therapy that included bevacizumab, oxaliplatin and a fluoropyrimidine in the same cycle.

For participants with rectal cancer, sequential neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy will count as a single systemic regimen.
