Lilly reveals positive top-line results for Cyramza in liver cancer

4 April 2018

Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) has announced top-line results from its Phase III REACH-2 study of Cyramza (ramucirumab) as a second-line treatment for liver cancer patients.

The trial met its primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) as well as the secondary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS). The efficacy and safety results will be submitted for presentation at a future medical meeting.

The firm says the safety profile in the study was consistent with what has been previously observed for single-agent Cyramza, and that it intends to initiate regulatory submissions in mid-2018.
