Study summary

GEMINI-PeriOp GC study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity of novel agents or novel combinations as perioperative treatment in participants with locally advanced resectable gastric, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), or esophageal adenocarcinoma who have not received previous treatment for the disease.

Read the detailed description

This Phase II, open-label, multi-drug, multi-center platform study consists of individual sub-studies/cohorts, each allows the assessment of multiple novel agents or novel combinations.

Participants will be assigned across different sub-studies/cohorts, to have sufficient evaluable participants of the confirmed recommended dose by Safety Review Committee (SRC) for study intervention in each corresponding sub-study/cohort.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    To assess the safety and tolerability of perioperative treatment.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  2. Percentage of participants with pathological complete response (pCR)

    pCR is defined as no viable cancer cells, including lymph nodes after complete evaluation in the resected gastric, GEJ, or esophageal cancer specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following neoadjuvant treatment.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Surgery completion rate

    Surgery completion rate is defined as the percentage of participants who received gastrectomy or gastroesophagectomy or esophagectomy.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  2. R0 resection (complete resection) rate

    R0 resection (complete resection) rate is the percentage of participants who received gastrectomy or gastroesophagectomy or esophagectomy and had a confirmed margin-negative resection.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  3. Percentage of participants with tumor downstaging

    Tumor downstaging is defined as the lowering of the primary tumor (T) and/or regional lymph nodes (N) from pre-neoadjuvant clinical staging (pre-cTN) to post-neoadjuvant clinical staging (post-cTN) and to postoperative pathological staging (ypTN).

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  4. Event-free survival (EFS)

    EFS is defined as the time from the first dose of study intervention to documented Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or non-RECIST 1.1 disease progression that precludes radical surgery or requires non-protocol therapy during the neoadjuvant through surgery period, or to documented RECIST 1.1 or biopsy-confirmed non-RECIST 1.1 recurrence or progression of disease during the adjuvant period, or death due to any cause at any time.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  5. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    DFS is defined as the time elapsed from the date of the first post-surgery scan (ie, Adjuvant Baseline scan) until the date of first evidence of disease recurrence as determined by Investigator using RECIST 1.1 assessment (local or distant), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  6. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a CR or PR as determined by Investigator using RECIST 1.1 at their latest assessment prior to surgery.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  7. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the first dose of the study intervention until the date of death due to any cause regardless of whether participant withdraws from treatment or receives another anti-cancer therapy.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  8. Serum concentrations of study interventions

    To assess the serum concentrations of study interventions in participants receiving perioperative treatment.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

  9. Number of participants with positive anti-drug antibodies (ADA)

    To assess the immunogenicity of study interventions in participants receiving perioperative treatment.

    Time frame: Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months
