Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with unresectable or metastatic small-bowel adenocarcinoma after progression on fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, or both. Ampullary cancers and known MSI-high or mismatch-repair-deficient tumors are excluded.

The idea: compare ramucirumab plus paclitaxel with FOLFIRI chemotherapy. Ramucirumab blocks VEGFR-2 blood-vessel signaling; chemotherapy disrupts cancer-cell growth. Randomized groups receive intravenous treatment in 28-day cycles. Prior irinotecan, taxane or ramucirumab treatment for this cancer is excluded.

This phase 2 study plans 94 patients. Michael Overman leads the SWOG Cancer Research Network study, with 399 recruiting US sites. Researchers compare progression-free survival.
