Résumé

Ramucirumab is a VEGFR-2 antibody that has proven to prolong overall survival (OS) in patients with pretreated metastatic gastric/gastrooesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. We present data from patients treated with ramucirumab and paclitaxel or FOLFIRI after failure of at least one platinum- and 5-FU-containing chemotherapy (CHT) regimen. In this retrospective two-center study, 56 patients with metastatic gastric cancer (47%) or adenocarcinoma of the GEJ (53%) were treated with paclitaxel and ramucirumab (n=38) as second-line (75%) or beyond second-line (25%) therapy. FOLFIRI-ramucirumab (FOLFIRI-R) (n=16) was given to patients with a short interval between taxane-based perioperative CHT and occurrence of metastatic disease or to those ineligible for paclitaxel. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and OS for patients treated with paclitaxel-ramucirumab (pacl-R) were 2.9 (95% CI: 2.3-3.6) and 4.4 (4.1-4.7) months, respectively, and those for patients treated with FOLFIRI-R were 5.9 (95% CI: 0.35-11.4) and 8.3 (6.6-10) months, respectively (P=0.05). We observed a trend towards prolonged PFS after perioperative taxane-based FLOT CHT (n=12) with FOLFIRI-R compared with pacl-R. Adverse events were manageable, with neutropenia and polyneuropathy (PNP) being the most common events. More than two treatment lines were given to 48.2% of patients. The use of ramucirumab in combination with FOLFIRI showed favourable PFS and OS in patients with prior treatments with platinum and/or taxane-based agents and allows further treatment lines after progression. In patients with taxane pretreatment or persistent high-grade PNP, the combination of FOLFIRI-R might be a promising combination.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Ramucirumab is a VEGFR-2 antibody that has proven to prolong overall survival (OS) in patients with pretreated metastatic gastric/gastrooesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. We present data from patients treated with ramucirumab and paclitaxel or FOLFIRI after failure of at least one platinum- and 5-FU-containing chemotherapy (CHT) regimen.
METHODS METHODS
In this retrospective two-center study, 56 patients with metastatic gastric cancer (47%) or adenocarcinoma of the GEJ (53%) were treated with paclitaxel and ramucirumab (n=38) as second-line (75%) or beyond second-line (25%) therapy. FOLFIRI-ramucirumab (FOLFIRI-R) (n=16) was given to patients with a short interval between taxane-based perioperative CHT and occurrence of metastatic disease or to those ineligible for paclitaxel.
RESULTS RESULTS
The median progression-free survival (PFS) and OS for patients treated with paclitaxel-ramucirumab (pacl-R) were 2.9 (95% CI: 2.3-3.6) and 4.4 (4.1-4.7) months, respectively, and those for patients treated with FOLFIRI-R were 5.9 (95% CI: 0.35-11.4) and 8.3 (6.6-10) months, respectively (P=0.05). We observed a trend towards prolonged PFS after perioperative taxane-based FLOT CHT (n=12) with FOLFIRI-R compared with pacl-R. Adverse events were manageable, with neutropenia and polyneuropathy (PNP) being the most common events. More than two treatment lines were given to 48.2% of patients.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The use of ramucirumab in combination with FOLFIRI showed favourable PFS and OS in patients with prior treatments with platinum and/or taxane-based agents and allows further treatment lines after progression. In patients with taxane pretreatment or persistent high-grade PNP, the combination of FOLFIRI-R might be a promising combination.
