Ramucirumab is a biosimilar drug of CYRAMZA® produced by Chiatai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Nanjing Shunxin Pharmaceutical Co., LTD. It is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) antagonist. This single-center, randomized, double-blind, single-dose, parallel phase I study of Ramucirumab injection versus Cyramza ® in healthy male volunteers was designed to evaluate the similarities in pharmacokinetics, tolerance, safety and immunogenicity of Ramucirumab and CYRAMZA®.

Ramucirumab injection biosimilar products manufactured by Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical,
Ramucirumab Injection is a humanized monoclonal antibody based on the human immunoglobulin G1(IgG1) skeleton sequence, developed by Eli Lilly Co., the bran name is Cyramza. Ramucirumab is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) antagonist that specifically binds to VEGF receptor 2 and blocks VEGFR ligand, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D binding to the receptor. As a result, Ramucirumab inhibits ligand-stimulated VEGF receptor 2 activation, thereby inhibiting ligand-induced proliferation, and human endothelial cell migration. Ramucirumab inhibits angiogenesis, thereby blocking the tumor's blood vessel supply.
