Efficacy and Safety of IMAB362 in Combination With the EOX Regimen for CLDN18.2-positive Gastric Cancer
A Randomized Phase II Multicenter, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of IMAB362 in Combination With the EOX (Epirubicin, Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine) Regimen as First-Line Treatment of Patients With CLDN18.2-Positive Advanced Adenocarcinomas of the Stomach, the Esophagus or the Gastroesophageal Junction

Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of the trial is to assess the therapeutic effects and the safety profile of IMAB362 combined with EOX (epirubicin, oxaliplatin, capecitabine) as first-line treatment for patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach, the esophagus or the gastroesophageal junction compared to EOX alone. Furthermore, sufficient binding of IMAB362 to the target cells is necessary for antitumoral activity. Thus, two dose levels ensuring a serum level above the in vitro predicted clinical efficacy threshold will be investigated.

- description
- Participants will receive up to 8 cycles of epirubicin, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (EOX) chemotherapy treatment alone (50 mg/m\^2 epirubicin intravenously on day 1 of each cycle, 130 mg/m\^2 oxaliplatin intravenously on day 1 of each cycle, 625 mg/m\^2 capecitabine orally twice daily on days 1 to 21 of each cycle). The first dose of capecitabine to be taken in the evening of day 1.

- description
- Participants will received up to 8 cycles of EOX chemotherapy treatment in combination with zolbetuximab administered as loading dose of 800 mg/m\^2 intravenously on day 1 of cycle 1 followed by 600 mg/m\^2 intravenously on day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Zolbetuximab to be administered prior to EOX chemotherapy. After completion of the EOX treatment phase, participants will be permitted to continue zolbetuximab monotherapy (600 mg/m\^2 every 3 weeks to be administered intravenously as a 2-hour infusion) until progressive disease (PD), withdrawal of consent or unacceptable toxicity. PD per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, an absolute increase of at least 5mm must also be demonstrated, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and appearance of one or more new lesions is considered progression.
