Note: Data are n (%).

AE, adverse event; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ERL, erlotinib; GGT, gamma-glutamyltransferase; GI, gastrointestinal; ILD, interstitial lung disease; PL, placebo; RAM, ramucirumab; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.

a

AEs of special interest are prespecified selected AEs of clinical interest that have been associated with other antiangiogenic agents, in a similar pharmacologic class as ramucirumab, that inhibit the VEGF signaling pathway.

b

Includes the preferred terms hemorrhoidal hemorrhage, anal hemorrhage, small intestinal hemorrhage, lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and hematochezia.

c

Includes the preferred terms proteinuria and protein urine present.
