Be a part of the treatment decision by asking questions QUESTIONS TO ASK MY DOCTOR FOR PATIENTS WITH METASTATIC NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER CYRAMZA (ramucirumab) is used with a chemotherapy called docetaxel to treat metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients whose cancer has progressed on or after being treated with other initial types of chemotherapy. Patients who have tumors with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene changes should have disease progression on or after a therapy that targets these gene changes prior to receiving CYRAMZA. WARNING: SEVERE BLEEDING, TEARS IN THE STOMACH OR BOWEL WALL, AND DIFFICULTY IN WOUND HEALING Severe bleeding, including bleeding in the stomach or bowel, has occurred with CYRAMZA. These events are sometimes fatal. Tell your doctor right away if you have bleeding or symptoms of bleeding, including lightheadedness. Your treatment will have to be permanently stopped if severe bleeding occurs. Tears in the stomach or bowel wall may occur with CYRAMZA. These events are sometimes fatal. Tell your doctor if you have severe diarrhea, vomiting, or severe abdominal pain. Your treatment will have to be permanently stopped if this occurs. Wounds may have difficulty healing with drugs like CYRAMZA. Tell your doctor if you have a wound that doesn t heal properly. If you develop a wound that won t heal during treatment, your doctor will stop CYRAMZA until the wound is fully healed. Also tell your doctor if you have planned surgery, as CYRAMZA treatment should be interrupted prior to surgery. Your doctor may restart CYRAMZA after your surgical wound has healed. Please see Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning for severe bleeding, tears in the stomach or bowel wall, and difficulty in wound healing, on pages 5 6. See full Prescribing Information for additional information about CYRAMZA.

QUESTIONS TO ASK MY DOCTOR It is important that you ask your treatment team every question that comes to mind. No matter how minor they may seem to you, they want to answer all of your questions. Below is a list of questions to consider asking your treatment team, followed by an area where you can write in other questions you want to ask. About CYRAMZA (ramucirumab) combination therapy How is CYRAMZA in combination with docetaxel different from my past treatments? What should I do to prepare for treatment? What side effects might occur with treatment? How can I tell the difference between side effects of the treatment and symptoms of the cancer? Are there ways to help manage side effects? Please see Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning for severe bleeding, tears in the stomach or bowel wall, and difficulty in wound healing, on pages 5 6. See full Prescribing Information for additional information about CYRAMZA. 2

QUESTIONS TO ASK MY DOCTOR (continued) What can CYRAMZA (ramucirumab) in combination with docetaxel offer as a treatment? What can you tell me about how CYRAMZA and docetaxel are given? How long should I plan for my treatment visits to take? About support services What support services are available to me and my family and friends? Are there financial resources that may help with the cost of treatment? What if I can t find a ride to an appointment? Please see Important Safety Information, including Boxed Warning for severe bleeding, tears in the stomach or bowel wall, and difficulty in wound healing, on pages 5 6. See full Prescribing Information for additional information about CYRAMZA. 3

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION What is the most important information I should know about CYRAMZA (ramucirumab)? WARNING: SEVERE BLEEDING, TEARS IN THE STOMACH OR BOWEL WALL, AND DIFFICULTY IN WOUND HEALING Severe bleeding, including bleeding in the stomach or bowel, has occurred with CYRAMZA. These events are sometimes fatal. Tell your doctor right away if you have bleeding or symptoms of bleeding, including lightheadedness. Your treatment will have to be permanently stopped if severe bleeding occurs. Tears in the stomach or bowel wall may occur with CYRAMZA. These events are sometimes fatal. Tell your doctor if you have severe diarrhea, vomiting, or severe abdominal pain. Your treatment will have to be permanently stopped if this occurs. Wounds may have difficulty healing with drugs like CYRAMZA. Tell your doctor if you have a wound that doesn t heal properly. If you develop a wound that won t heal during treatment, your doctor will stop CYRAMZA until the wound is fully healed. Also tell your doctor if you have planned surgery, as CYRAMZA treatment should be interrupted prior to surgery. Your doctor may restart CYRAMZA after your surgical wound has healed. Strokes, mini-strokes, blood clots, and heart attacks have occurred in clinical trials with CYRAMZA. These events are sometimes fatal. Your treatment will have to be permanently stopped if these events occur. Severe high blood pressure has occurred with CYRAMZA treatment. Your doctor will monitor your blood pressure every 2 weeks or more throughout treatment and may adjust, interrupt, or permanently stop treatment depending on the results. Tell your doctor if your blood pressure is high or if you have symptoms of high blood pressure, including severe headache or lightheadedness, or neurologic symptoms such as confusion, changes in your vision, or seizure. Infusion reactions related to injecting CYRAMZA have occurred. Most of these reactions happened during or after the first or second CYRAMZA infusion. Signs and symptoms of infusion reactions include shaking or stiffness of the body, back pain or spasms, chest pain or tightness, chills, flushing, difficulty breathing, wheezing, becoming blue due to lack of oxygen, and tingling or numbness of the skin. In severe cases, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and severe trouble breathing may occur. Your healthcare team will monitor you for these side effects. In the case of a severe infusion reaction, your CYRAMZA treatment will be immediately and permanently stopped. CYRAMZA may worsen certain types of liver disease. Tell your doctor if you have or have had liver disease or other liver problems. RPLS (reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome), a very rare but serious brain disorder, has been reported in clinical trials with CYRAMZA. Signs and symptoms of RPLS may include headache, seizures, visual changes, and changes in mental function. These symptoms usually stop or improve within days, but some patients can experience continuing changes in mental function or death. Too much protein in the urine (proteinuria) has been reported in clinical trials with CYRAMZA. This may be a sign of kidney damage. Your doctor will monitor your urine protein levels during treatment. If you develop protein in your urine, your doctor may interrupt your treatment and decrease your dose of CYRAMZA. In severe cases your treatment will have to be permanently stopped. Thyroid gland problems have been reported in clinical trials with CYRAMZA. Your doctor will do blood tests to monitor your thyroid gland function during treatment. CYRAMZA can harm your unborn baby. You should avoid getting pregnant, and use adequate contraception while receiving CYRAMZA and for at least 3 months after stopping CYRAMZA. Please see full Prescribing Information for additional information about CYRAMZA, including Boxed Warning for severe bleeding, tears in the stomach or bowel wall, and difficulty in wound healing. 5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued) What are the most common side effects of CYRAMZA (ramucirumab)?

The most common serious adverse events with CYRAMZA plus docetaxel were low white blood cell count with fever, pneumonia, and low white blood cell count. Treatment to increase white blood cell count called granulocyte colony-stimulating factors was given to 42% of CYRAMZA plus docetaxel-treated patients and 37% of patients who received placebo plus docetaxel. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/ safety/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Are breastfeeding: your doctor will tell you to stop breastfeeding during treatment. Tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, including prescription and over-thecounter medications. How is CYRAMZA given? CYRAMZA is slowly infused (injected) into your vein. The infusion will last about 60 minutes. You will usually receive CYRAMZA once every 3 weeks prior to docetaxel. Your doctor will also give additional medication(s) prior to your CYRAMZA infusion to address potential side effects. CYRAMZA is available by prescription only.
