Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of zolbetuzimab as a single agent as assessed by an independent central reader. This study will also assess the ORR and Progression Free Survival (PFS) of zolbetuximab in combination with mFOLFOX6 (with or without Nivolumab) and in combination with pembrolizumab, assess the safety and tolerability, assess the effects on CLDN18.2 expression and assess the immunogenicity and immunomodulatory effects of zolbetuximab as a single agent and in combination with mFOLFOX6 (with or without Nivolumab) and in combination with pembrolizumab. This study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of zolbetuximab, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil (5-FU), and pembrolizumab, evaluate health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), evaluate the Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), PFS of zolbetuximab as a single agent, in combination with mFOLFOX6 (with or without Nivolumab) and in combination with pembrolizumab based on both investigator and independent central reader assessment, assess Overall Survival (OS) of zolbetuximab as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab.

Description

This is a study to assess the antitumor activity of zolbetuximab, an Immunoglobulin (IgG1) chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against CLDN18.2, in subjects with recurrent locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose tumors have high or intermediate CLDN18.2 expression. For each cohort, the study consists of the following periods: pre-screening; screening; treatment; and follow-up for disease progression. In addition, there will be a survival follow-up period for Cohort 1A and Cohort 4B participants only. Tolerability of zolbetuximab in combination with pembrolizumab in Japanese participant(s) will be evaluated in Cohort 3A DLT assessment. Tolerability of zolbetuximab in combination with mFOLFOX6 and nivolumab in Japanese subject(s) will be evaluated in Cohort 4B, if Japanese subjects are not enrolled in the Cohort 4A DLT assessment.
