Identification of biomarkers to stratify patients who might benefit from treatment is needed to optimize targeted therapies. Here, based on an analysis of the RANGE trial (NCT02426125), the authors report potentially predictive biomarkers for survival benefit in patients with platinum-refractory advanced urothelial carcinoma treated with the anti-VEGFR2 monoclonal antibody ramucirumab.
