Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of ramucirumab DP administered in combination with docetaxel versus docetaxel with placebo as therapy for patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had disease progression during or after 1 prior first-line platinum-based chemotherapy with or without maintenance therapy for advanced/metastatic<br>disease.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are to compare ramucirumab DP administered in combination with docetaxel versus docetaxel with placebo for:<br>? Safety and toxicity profile<br>? Progression-free survival (PFS)<br>? Objective response rate (ORR)<br>? Disease control rate (DCR)<br>? Patient-reported outcomes (using Lung Cancer Symptom Scale [LCSS] and EuroQol EQ-5D);Primary end point(s): Overall survival
