Background: Ramucirumab (RAM) plus paclitaxel (PTX) therapy has shown promising results as a standard second-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer patients. Recently, combined docetaxel (DOC) plus S-1 (DS) therapy could be regarded as the new standard adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with curatively resected stage III gastric cancer. However, the efficacy and safety of RAM plus PTX therapy in patients treated previously with DOC-containing therapy remains unclear. Methods: This study assessed the clinical outcomes of RAM plus PTX therapy in advanced gastric cancer patients with or without a previous history of treatment with a DOC-containing regimen. Results: In a series of 107 consecutive patients enrolled for this study, the median PFS and OS were 4.2 and 6.2 months, respectively. Fifty-five patients had a history of prior therapy with DOC and 52 did not. There was no significant difference between with and without DOC groups in the ORR (22.2% vs. 23.5%), PFS (4.2 vs. 5.3 months), or OS (7.2 vs. 6.4 months). In a comparison taking into account the interval from the DOC-containing therapy to the RAM plus PTX therapy, the number of treatment courses was significantly smaller and the PFS significantly shorter in the patient group with an interval of ≤ 6 months (median, 2 vs 4.5 courses, P = 0.033; 3.4 months vs. 5.1 months, P = 0.043). Conclusions: RAM plus PTX therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer is effective even in patients who have previously received DOC-containing chemotherapy, especially if the interval is > 6 months.
