Brief Summary:

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ramucirumab in combination with erlotinib as compared to placebo in combination with erlotinib in previously untreated participants with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring an activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (Exon 19-Del and Exon 21 L858R). Safety and tolerability of ramucirumab in combination with erlotinib will be assessed in Part A before proceeding to Part B.

The purpose of Part C is to determine the efficacy and safety of ramucirumab in combination with gefitinib in previously untreated East Asian participants with EGFR mutation-positive metastatic NSCLC and of ramucirumab in combination with osimertinib in those participants whose disease progressed on ramucirumab and gefitinib and that have T790M - positive metastatic NSCLC.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part B: Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease or Death from Any Cause (Up To 37 Months) ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of radiographically documented progressive disease (PD) based on investigator assessment, or the date of death due to any cause, whichever is first assessed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Progressive Disease (PD) was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 through End of Study (Up To 3 Years) ]
    A summary of other non-serious adverse events and all serious adverse events, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events Section.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Part B: Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to Date of Death from Any Cause (Up To 37 Months) ]
    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For each participant who was not known to have died as of the data-inclusion cutoff date for a particular analysis,OS was censored for that analysis at the date of last contact prior to the data-inclusion cutoff date (contacts considered in the determination of last contact date include adverse event (AE) date, lesion assessment date, visit date, and last known alive date).

  2. Part B: Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Objective Response Rate [ORR]) [ Time Frame: Randomization to Progressive Disease (Up To 37 Months) ]
    ORR was defined as the percentage of randomized participants achieving a best overall response of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) assessed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all lesions, pathological lymph node reduction in short axis to <10 mm, and normalization of tumor marker levels of non-target lesions. PR was at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD) was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.

  3. Part B: Percentage of Participants With CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD) (Disease Control Rate [DCR]) [ Time Frame: Randomization to Progressive Disease (Up To 37 Months) ]
    DCR was defined as the percentage of randomized participants achieving a best overall response of CR,PR, or stable disease(SD) assessed via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST) version 1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all lesions,pathological lymph node reduction in short axis to <10 mm, and normalization of tumor marker levels of non-target lesions.PR was at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. Progressive Disease(PD) was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions,taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.

  4. Part B: Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Date of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) to Date of Objective Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (Up To 37 Months) ]
    DoR was defined as the date of first documented CR or PR (responder) to the date of progressive disease or the date of death due to any cause, whichever was earlier. If a responder was not known to have died or have progressive disease, then the participant was censored at the date of last evaluable tumor assessment.CR was defined as the disappearance of all lesions, pathological lymph node reduction in short axis to <10 mm, and normalization of tumor marker levels of non-target lesions. PR was at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD) was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of 1 or more new lesions is also considered progression.

  5. Part B: Pharmacokinetics (PK): Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of Ramucirumab [ Time Frame: Cycle 2 Day 1: Predose; Cycle 4 Day 1: Predose; Cycle 7 Day 1: Predose; Cycle 14 Day 1 ]
    Part B: Pharmacokinetics (PK): Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of Ramucirumab

  6. Part B: Number of Participants With Anti-Ramucirumab Antibodies [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 Predose through Follow-up (Up To 37 Months) ]
    Part B: Number of Participants With Anti-Ramucirumab Antibodies.

  7. Part B: Best Change From Baseline on the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, End of Study (Up To 37 Months) ]
    The LCSS consisted of 9 items: 6 items focused on lung cancer symptoms [loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea (shortness of breath), hemoptysis (blood in sputum), and pain] and 3 global items (symptom distress, interference with activity level, and global quality of life). Participant responses to each item were measured using visual analogue scales (VAS) with 100-millimeter (mm) lines. A higher score for any item represented a higher level of symptoms/problems. The LCSS total score was defined as the mean of all 9 items. Average symptom burden index (ASBI) was calculated as the mean of the six symptom-specific questions from the LCSS. Potential scores range from 0 (for best outcome) to 100 (for worst outcome).

  8. Part B: Change From Baseline on the EuroQol 5-Dimension, 5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycle 10 (each cycle is 2 weeks) ]
    The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument used to measure self-reported health status of the participants. It consists of 5 health dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). There are 5 response levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems/unable to), ranging from 1 to 5 (good to bad). Dimension responses were converted to an index score using UK weights. The index scores were anchored on full health (1.0) to dead (0) with negative values assigned to health states considered worse than death.

  9. Part B: Change From Baseline on the EuroQol 5-Dimension, 5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycle 28 (each cycle is 2 weeks) ]
    The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument used to measure self-reported health status of the participants. It consists of 5 health dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). There are 5 response levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems/unable to), ranging from 1 to 5 (good to bad). Dimension responses were converted to an index score using UK weights. The index scores were anchored on full health (1.0) to dead (0) with negative values assigned to health states considered worse than death.

  10. Part B: Change From Baseline on the EuroQol 5-Dimension, 5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Cycle 40 (each cycle is 2 weeks) ]
    The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument used to measure self-reported health status of the participants. It consists of 5 health dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). There are 5 response levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems/unable to), ranging from 1 to 5 (good to bad). Dimension responses were converted to an index score using UK weights. The index scores were anchored on full health (1.0) to dead (0) with negative values assigned to health states considered worse than death.
