Despite the availability of multiple treatment options, the prognosis for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) remains poor and more effective treatment options are needed. Ramucirumab is an established and recommended second-line treatment for AGC. In recently completed and ongoing clinical trials, ramucirumab has been investigated in combination with new therapeutics and in new clinical settings to address the unmet treatment needs of AGC. In this review, the findings of recent clinical trials are discussed. The aims of this review are to present the current picture of ramucirumab-containing regimens in AGC and offer practical guidance on the clinical position and target populations of ramucirumab-containing regimens in light of emerging therapeutic developments.
