Tumor Hypoxia and Angiogenesis • Hypoxia: low local oxygen concentration
• Tumor hypoxia is the primary stimulus for VEGF production1,2
• Excessive VEGF initiates the tumor angiogenic process2

• Ramucirumab is a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds with high affinity to human VEGFR-2 (Kd ~ 50 pM)1
• Ramucirumab is specific for the human VEGFR-2 receptor2
• Ramucirumab potently blocks binding of VEGF-A to VEGFR-2 (IC50 = 0.8 nM)1
• Ramucirumab blocks binding of VEGF-C and VEGF-D to VEGFR-23
