DS-8201a in HER2-positive Gastric Cancer That Cannot Be Surgically Removed or Has Spread (DESTINY-Gastric02)
A Phase 2, Open-label, Single-arm Trial of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan (DS 8201a) in HER2-positive, Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastro-esophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinoma Subjects Who Have Progressed on or After a Trastuzumab-containing Regimen (DESTINY-Gastric02)

Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study will find out if trastuzumab deruxtecan is safe and works for participants with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. They must have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer: * that cannot be removed surgically * that has moved to other parts of the body * that got worse during or after treatment that included trastuzumab The study will enroll about 80 participants. Sites will be in North America and the European Union.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- All participants
- description
- Participants who have centrally confirmed HER2-positive gastric or gastro-esophageal junction cancer will be treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan by intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks, until progression of disease or withdrawal from treatment for other reasons.

Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on Independent Central Review Following Treatment With DS8201a in Participants With HER2-Positive Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastro-Esophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinoma
- timeFrame
- Up to 16 months (data cut-off)
- description
- The Objective Response Rate (ORR) was the defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), assessed by independent central review (ICR) committee based on RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Confirmed ORR based on ICR is reported.

Inclusion Criteria: * Men or women ≥18 years old (local regulatory guidelines apply) * Has pathologically documented HER2-positive gastric or GEJ cancer that is unresectable or metastatic, and that progressed during or after treatment regimen containing trastuzumab * Has at least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1, as confirmed by investigator review * If of reproductive potential, agrees to use a highly effective form of contraception or avoid intercourse during and upon completion of the study and for at least 7 months for females and 4 months for males after the last dose of study drug Exclusion Criteria: * Has had anticancer therapy after first-line treatment regimen containing trastuzumab * Has uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, including any of the following: history of myocardial infarction (MI) within 6 months of first dose or symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II to IV), troponin levels consistent with MI as defined according to the manufacturer within 28 days of first dose, or corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation to \>470 ms (females) or \>450 ms (male) based on screening triplicate 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) * Has history of non-infectious interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required corticosteroid therapy, or current ILD/pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out at screening * Clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (ie, pulmonary emboli within 3 months of the first dose, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion, etc.), and any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders with pulmonary involvement (ie, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis, etc.), or prior pneumonectomy. * Has pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion that requires drainage, peritoneal shunt, or Cell-free and Concentrated Ascites Reinfusion Therapy (CART) * Has spinal cord compression or clinically active central nervous system metastases, defined as untreated and symptomatic or requiring therapy with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms (Note: participants with clinically inactive brain metastases may be included in the study as well as participants with treated brain metastases who are no longer symptomatic and no longer require treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants.
