A Study of KN026-based Combination Therapy in HER2-positive Gastric Cancer

Inclusion Criteria:

Age≥18 years old.

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of gastric cancer.
* Participants unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer who had not received systemic treatment (participants who had progressed 6 months after prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy could be enrolled).
* Confirmed to be HER2 positive (HER2-positive is defined as IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ with ISH positive) and PD-L1 status (participants of phase III should be confirmed by the pathology department of participating study center).
* Phase II: Presence of at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1. Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions. Phase III:Presence of at least 1 evaluable lesion per RECIST 1.1. Tumor lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
* ECOG PS of 0 - 1.
* Expected survival ≥ 3 months.
* Participants with adequate organ functions.
* Female and male participants of childbearing age agree to take adequate contraceptive measures during and upon completion of the study for 7 months after the last dose. Female participants of childbearing age must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days before randomization.
* Voluntarily agree to participate in the study and sign the informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Has received anti-tumor treatment such as systemic chemotherapy or other trial interventions within 28 days, or immunotherapy (e.g. interleukin, interferon, thymospipeptide, etc.), hormone therapy or targeted therapy within 14 days or 5 half-life (whichever is shorter) before randomization.
* Participants with brain metastasis or spinal cord compression at screening (except for completed local treatment and discontinued glucocorticoids for at least 4 weeks before randomization , and stable central nervous system imaging and brain metastasis symptoms for at least 4 weeks).
* Participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1, who are receiving long-term immunotherapy (e.g., cyclosporine) or require daily systemic steroid therapy (e.g., \>20 mg prednisone or equivalent), except those who treated with local glucocorticoids using nasal spray, inhalation, or other pathways.
* Participants with PD-L1CPS ≥1, who have an active autoimmune disease or have a history of autoimmune disease 2 years before randomization and still require systemic treatment. However, participant with the following diseases is allowed to enroll: well-controlled type I diabetes, well-controlled hypothyroidism that requires hormone replacement therapy, skin diseases that do not require systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or hair loss), or participant who is expected to not recur without external triggers.
* Participate in another clinical trial, unless it is an observational (non-intervention) clinical trial or is in the follow-up period of an intervention trial.
* Participants who have undergone major surgery or had invasive intervention within 28 days before randomization. Or those who plan to undergo systematic or local tumor resection during the trial .
* Any Chinese patent medicine with anti-cancer activity approved by the National Drug Administration (regardless of cancer type) has been used within 14 days before randomization.
* Has a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to either the drug substances or inactive ingredients in the drug product.
* Active bacterial, fungal or viral infection before randomization. Participant who has recieved preventive infection treatment but has no clinical manifestations before randomization could be considered to enroll.
* Has a history of immunodeficiency, including HIV-positive.
* Active hepatitis B or C infection. Participant with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) need to test Hepatitis B virus DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (HBV-DNA), and HBV-DNA is higher than 500 IU/mL (or 2500 copies/ml) ; Participants with positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody and whose Hepatitis C virus Ribonucleic Acid (HCV-RNA) is higher than 1000 copies/ml or UNL (whichever is lower).
* Has a history of tuberculosis treatment within 2 years before randomization.
* Has activity or a history of interstitial lung disease at any stage and/or pulmonary function injury, a history of interstitial pneumonia requiring hormone therapy, or the imaging cannot rule out suspected interstitial lung disease/pneumonia at screening.
* Known to have low activity or lack of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD).
* Participants with peripheral neuropathy of grade \> 1.
* Participants with clinically significant gastrointestinal diseases including but not limited to severe liver diseases, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and other gastrointestinal diseases 28 days before randomization; Unable to swallow orally, or there are conditions that have been judged by researchers to seriously affect gastrointestinal absorption (such as malabsorption syndrome, etc.).
* Has a history of severe cardiovascular disease.
* History of any other malignant tumors within 5 years before randomization.
* pleural effussion, peritoneal dropsy or pericardial effusion requiring drainage within 2 weeks before randomization.
* Live vaccination within 28 days before randomization. Note: Seasonal influenza vaccine is a broadly inactivated vaccine and is allowed to be used;
* Breastfeeding women.
* Otherwise considered inappropriate for the study by the investigator.
