Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Gastric cancer, Advanced/Metastatic Gastric cancer, Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma Expressing Claudin18.2

A trial to learn how well AZD0901 works and how safe it is compared to standard cancer treatments in adults with advanced and metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers with high levels of a protein called CLDN18.2

EU CTIS ID: 2023-508276-11-00

What this study is testing

To demonstrate the superiority of AZD0901 relative to Investigator’s choice of therapy by assessment of PFS in all randomized participants. To demonstrate the superiority of AZD0901 relative to Investigator’s choice of therapy by assessment of OS for 3L+ participants

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Participant must be at least 18 years or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction
  • Histologically confirmed unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of gastric, GEJ, or distal esophagus (distal third of the esophagus) and the following requirement a) With positive CLDN 18.2 expression determined by central lab. For participants who have received prior CLDN18.2 targeting therapies a new biopsy upon progression must be provided for testing to determine CLDN18.2 expression.
  • Disease progression on or after at least one prior line of treatment (LoT), which included a fluoropyrimidine and a platinum, for advanced or metastatic disease.
  • Must have at least one measurable or evaluable lesion assessed by the Investigator based on RECIST 1.1
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 with no deterioration over the previous 2 weeks prior to baseline or day of first dosing.
  • Predicted life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks

You likely can't join if

  • Participants with known HER2 positive status as defined as IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH + (Cases with HER2: CEP17 ratio ≥ 2 or an average HER2 copy number ≥ 6.0 signals/cell are considered positive by ISH). Participants must undergo local (or have had) HER2 testing by IHC/ISH, and the most recent result of HER2 status will be used to determine the eligibility.
  • Participant has significant or unstable gastric bleeding and/or untreated gastric ulcers.
  • CNS metastases or CNS pathology including: epilepsy, seizures, or aphasia within 3 months prior to consent, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, neurodegenerative diseases, cerebellar disease, severe uncontrolled mental illness, psychosis, CNS involvement of autoimmune diseases. The following are exceptions to this criterion: (a) Participants with history of seizures are permitted if no active seizures in last 5 years. (b) Participants with brain metastases treated, asymptomatic, stable, and not requiring steroids for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization. A minimum of 2 weeks must have elapsed between the end of brain radiotherapy and study enrolment.
  • Participant has known clinically significant corneal disease (eg, active keratitis or corneal ulcerations).
  • Persistent toxicities (CTCAE Grade ≥ 2) caused by previous anticancer therapy, excluding alopecia. Participants with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by study intervention may be included (eg, hearing loss).
  • Prior exposure to any ADC with MMAE payload or any CLDN18.2 targeting treatment other than naked monoclonal antibody (eg, CLDN18.2 targeting CAR-T cell therapy, multi-specific antibody including targeting CLDN18.2, etc).

  • As judged by the Investigator, any evidence of diseases which in the Investigator’s opinion, makes it undesirable for the participant to participate in the study or that would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.
