MECHANISM
Ramucirumab belongs to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 antagonist which efficiently binds VEGF Receptor 2 and stops binding of VEGFR ligands, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D.
As a result, ramucirumab prohibits ligand-stimulated activation of VEGF Receptor 2, thereby prohibiting ligand-induced multiplication, and migration of human endothelial cells.
Ramucirumab prevented angiogenesis in an in vivo animal model.
Half-life of ramucirumab 14 days
