Denna information är endast avsedd för sjukvårdspersonal verksam i Sverige och som svar på din fråga. Informationen nedan är på engelska
The blood pressure of patients should be monitored prior to each ramucirumab administration and treated as clinically indicated. Ramucirumab therapy should be temporarily discontinued in the event of severe hypertension, until controlled with medical management. If there is medically significant hypertension that cannot be controlled safely with antihypertensive therapy, ramucirumab therapy should be permanently discontinued.1
Clinical Studies
The incidence of any grade and grade ≥3 hypertension in the phase 3 clinical studies is summarized in Table 1

Abbreviations: CRC = colorectal cancer; EGFR = epidermal growth factor receptor; FOLFIRI = irinotecan, folinic acid, and 5-flurouracil; HCC = hepatocellular carcinoma; MedDRA = Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities; NSCLC = non-small cell lung cancer.
a Hypertension is the consolidated, MedDRA-preferred term.
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
A meta-analysis of all completed phase 3 studies and 5 meta-analyses combining eligible phase 2 and 3 studies evaluated the risk of hypertension associated with the use of ramucirumab for the treatment of patients with solid tumors.8-13 These analyses included between 6 and 11 studies that evaluated the use of ramucirumab in 1495 to 3103 patients. The incidence of all grade hypertension ranged from 10.8% to 40.5% of patients. Five analyses found that the risk of developing hypertension was greater in ramucirumab-treated patients with RR between 2.28 and 2.83 for all grade hypertension and RR between 3.58 and 3.73 for high-grade hypertension.8-11,13 One analysis also suggested that hypertension was frequently associated with ramucirumab therapy, with an OR of 3.60 for any grade of hypertension and 4.16 for grade 3-4 hypertension.12
