NCIt definition : A recombinant, fully human monoclonal antibody directed against human vascular endothelial
growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) with antiangiogenesis activity. Ramucirumab specifically
binds to and inhibits VEGFR-2, which may result in an inhibition of tumor angiogenesis
and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR-2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor
receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance being studied in the treatment of breast cancer that has come
back. It binds to receptors for a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor
(VEGF). This keeps VEGF from binding to the receptors and may stop the growth of new
blood vessels that tumors need to grow. It is a type of antiangiogenesis agent and
a type of monoclonal antibody.;
