Ramucirumab is also used in combination with docetaxel to treat a certain type of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to other parts of the body in people who have already been treated with other chemotherapy medications and have not improved or worsened. It is also used in combination with erlotinib (Tarceva) to a certain type of NSCLC that has spread to other parts of the body. Ramucirumab is also used in combination with other chemotherapy medications to treat cancer of the colon (large intestine) or rectum that has spread to other parts of the body in people that have already been treated with other chemotherapy medications and have not improved or worsened.
