“…Conversely, combination therapies between platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic agents in first-line treatment of GC have failed to show significant survival benefit [40,41,51]. Additionally, the first report on ramucirumab in combination with a platinum compound, such as oxaliplatin, did not meet its primary endpoint [50]. Therefore, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study of cisplatin plus a fluoropyrimidine with or without ramucirumab as first-line therapy in patients with metastatic GC or GEJ adenocarcinoma (RAINFALL, NCT02314117) is currently recruiting participants, and the final results of this trial are awaited to make definitive conclusions about platinumbased chemotherapy and antiangiogenic agents in first-line treatment of GC.…”
