Summary description of the study

This study will investigate an investigational substance AZD0901 in advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, or esophageal cancer. AZD0901 is a type of medication known as an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). ADCs are a type of targeted therapy that delivers cancer drugs directly to cancer cells. AZD0901 recognizes cancer cells by a specific protein called Claudin 18.2. This is one of the proteins that is commonly found on the surface of gastric cancer cells. To be eligible for this study, this protein must be present in sufficient amounts on the cancer cells (expressed). This will be verified prior to inclusion in the study. This study aims to determine how effective (for example, by reducing the growth or spread of cancer) and safe AZD0901 is compared to a standard therapy. The standard therapy will be selected by the investigator based on the disease status (from a selection of Ramucirumab + Paclitaxel, Paclitaxel, Docetaxel, Irinotecan, TAS-102, or Apatinib).

Intervention under investigation

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups:

A) AZD0901 2.2 mg/kg administered intravenously every 3 weeks.

B) AZD0901 1.8 mg/kg administered intravenously every 3 weeks.

C) Standard therapy selected by the investigator (visits expected every 3-4 weeks).

 

The optimal dose of AZD0901 (2.2 mg/kg or 1.8 mg/kg) is currently being determined in preliminary studies. Once this is established, either Arm A or Arm B will be closed early and the inclusion in the study will then continue 1:1 in two groups (AZD0901 or standard therapy).

Treatments will continue until disease progression occurs. They may also continue if there is clinical benefit.
