RamAtezo-1 Trial Summary

This trial will test whether combining two drugs, ramucirumab and atezolizumab, is more effective than traditional therapy in treating non-small cell lung cancer in patients who have previously received immune checkpoint blockers.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have previously been treated with immune checkpoint blockers. They must have a biopsy available, normal organ and bone marrow function, no severe infections or recent thromboembolic events, not be on certain medications, and agree to use contraception. Excluded are those with uncontrolled hypertension, significant liver disease, known allergies to study drugs, autoimmune diseases, untreated brain metastases among other conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of combining ramucirumab and atezolizumab in NSCLC patients who didn't respond well to previous immune therapies. It's a pilot study where participants will receive both drugs and undergo regular monitoring through blood tests and biopsies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure from ramucirumab; allergic reactions; fatigue; liver issues; bleeding problems; protein in urine indicating possible kidney issues. Atezolizumab can cause similar side effects plus potential inflammation of organs.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this medical experiment the inaugural of its kind?

"Hoffmann-La Roche's Ramucirumab has been trialled in 397 studies, spread across 74 countries and 1771 cities. The inaugural test of this drug was conducted back in 2008, involving 720 patients; it successfully passed its Phase 2 clinical trial phase. Since then, a further 185 trials have been completed."

Answered by AI

In what contexts is Ramucirumab typically employed?

"Ramucirumab is traditionally administered to treat small cell lung cancer (SCLC), but can also be used in instances of non-small cell lung carcinoma, malignancy, and postoperative healing."

Answered by AI

Has Ramucirumab been the subject of any other investigations?

"Presently, 397 clinical trials for Ramucirumab are in progress with 78 of those studies on Phase 3. The majority are located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; however, 21761 sites across the country offer this medication as part of a medical trial."

Answered by AI

What adverse effects has Ramucirumab been associated with?

"Ramucirumab was assessed to have a safety rating of 2 on the 1-3 scale due to its standing in Phase 2, with some data pertaining to safety but none for efficacy."

Answered by AI

Are there any open vacancies for participation in this research project?

"Information published on clinicaltrials.gov states that this study is not currently enrolling participants; the initial posting was June 5th 2019 and it has most recently been updated August 10th 2022. Although, there are over two thousand other studies actively seeking volunteers at present."

Answered by AI

What is the scope of enrollment for this research endeavor?

"Unfortunately, this trial is no longer enrolling. It was first posted on June 5th 2019 and last updated August 10th 2022. For those seeking other trials to participate in, there are 2082 studies with carcinoma non-small cell lung actively recruiting and 397 involving Ramucirumab that are open for enrollment."
