A Study of Ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) in Participants With Breast Cancer

A Phase 1b Study of Docetaxel in Combination With Ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) Drug Product in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the anti-VEGFR-2 monoclonal antibody ramucirumab drug product in combination with docetaxel in Japanese participants with metastatic, or locally advanced breast cancer, with the aim of confirming the recommended dose of ramucirumab drug product (DP) in combination with docetaxel.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
