Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of concomitant ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) on the pharmacokinetics of irinotecan and its metabolite SN-38 when coadministered with folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil, in participants with advanced malignant solid tumors resistant to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available.

Interventions

Ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 2-week cycle (except Cycle 1)

DRUGIrinotecan

180 milligrams per square meter (mg/m²) administered IV on Day 1 of each cycle

DRUGFolinic acid

400 mg/m² administered IV on Day 1 of each cycle

DRUG5-Fluorouracil

400 mg/m² bolus over 2 to 4 minutes administered IV on Day 1 of each cycle, followed by 2400 mg/m² administered IV over 46 to 48 hours on Days 1 and 2 of each cycle
