Description:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with
ramucirumab, paclitaxel, and trastuzumab biosimilar as second line treatment of HER2 positive
metastatic gastric cancer after failure of first line chemotherapy including trastuzumab.
This study is a phase II, single-arm, open label, multi-center study.

Purpose
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with
ramucirumab, paclitaxel, and trastuzumab biosimilar as second line treatment of HER2 positive
metastatic gastric cancer after failure of first line chemotherapy including trastuzumab.
This study is a phase II, single-arm, open label, multi-center study.
Detailed Description
Approximately 15% of patients with advanced gastric cancer have HER2 overexpression and the
combined use of trastuzumab and other cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, such as 5-FU and
cisplatin, in these patients is associated with a significantly improved survival rate
compared with cytotoxic chemotherapy alone. So, the combination of trastuzumab and
chemotherapy is currently being used as a standard treatment in HER2 positive advanced
gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. However, after failing first line treatment with
such regimen, second line treatment is determined regardless of HER2 status, and the most
preferred treatment is ramucirumab and paclitaxel combination chemotherapy.
Recently, the use of trastuzumab in combination with other cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents
has been reported to be superior to the use of cytotoxic chemotherapy alone in the treatment
of patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. On the basis of several guidelines,
it is recommended to extend the use of trastuzumab after disease progression. In addition, in
some retrospective studies of metastatic gastric cancer, it has been reported that treatment
with trastuzumab in combination with second line chemotherapy followed by first line
chemotherapy including trastuzumab is beneficial and it is worthwhile to be tested in the
prospective study. Furthermore, data on the safety and efficacy of cross-administration of
trastuzumab biosimilar have not been available yet.

1.5 x ULN E. AST and ALT < 3 x ULN (if there is a live metastasis, AST and ALT ≤ 5 x
ULN) F. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5x ULN or CCr > 50 mL/min
8. Life expectancy is more than 12 weeks
9. Echocardiography at the time of enrollment showed an ejection fraction ≥ 50%

grade 1 toxicity (exception: Alopecia, stable peripheral neuropathy, and manageable
electrolyte imbalance by replacement therapy are acceptable if they are resolved to
less than grade 2)
11. If the urine pregnancy test or serum beta-hCG result is negative in child bearing
women
12. If the subject have signed the informed consent form approved by the IRB
Exclusion Criteria:

metastasis without progression of more than 4 weeks after previous CT or MRI, and no
steroid treatment for symptom relief is necessary)

range for chronic hepatitis B carriers)
3. If previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy was applied within 3 weeks before the
administration of study drug

complete before the administration of study drug
5. If there is a history of other malignancies within 3 years (exception: cervical
intraepithelial cancer, well differentiated thyroid cancer, or skin cancer has been
treated completely)
6. QTc interval > 480 msec, long or short QT syndrome, or Burgada syndrome. In addition,
known prolongation of QTc interval or Torsade de Pointes
