Popis: Background Post-hoc analyses of AFP response and progression and their relationship with objective measures of response and survival were performed in patients from REACH. Methods Serum AFP was measured at baseline and every 3 cycles (2 weeks/cycle). Associations between AFP and radiographic progression and efficacy end points were analysed. Results Median percent AFP increase from baseline was smaller in the ramucirumab than in the placebo arm throughout treatment. Time to AFP progression (HR 0.621; P P P P = 0.0002). AFP response was higher with ramucirumab compared with placebo (P P Conclusions Treatment with ramucirumab prolonged time to AFP progression, slowed AFP increase and was more likely to induce AFP response. Similar benefits in radiographic progression and response correlated with AFP changes.
