The REVEL trial was a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with pathologically confirmed, squamous or nonsquamous, stage IV NSCLC with disease progression during or after 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapy. Prior treatment with bevacizumab and prior maintenance therapy were allowed and all patients had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio (stratified by sex, region, PS, and previous maintenance therapy) to receive treatment with ramucirumab (10 mg/kg every 3 weeks) plus docetaxel (75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks) (n=628) or placebo plus docetaxel (75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks) (n=625) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or death.1
Testing for EGFR in the REVEL Study
In the REVEL study, patients with known EGFR-positive mutation status and those who received prior therapy with TKIs were eligible as long as they were treated with prior platinum-based chemotherapy.1 During enrollment in the REVEL trial, it was not required for patients to be tested for EGFR and ALK biomarkers.2 In addition, patients were excluded from REVEL if their only prior treatment for advanced disease was a TKI (eg, erlotinib).1
Testing for ALK in the REVEL Study
At the time of initial patient enrollment (2010), no agents were approved for treating patients with ALK translocations, which constitute less than 5% of all NSCLC patients,3 and neither the test nor the ALK testing guidelines were available in routine clinical practice. Therefore, data regarding ALK status were not collected in this study.2
