A Phase 2 interventional study of Denikitug and Nivolumab in HER2-negative, Gastroesophageal Junction and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma, sponsored by Gilead Sciences. Recruiting at 15 sites in 5 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-21.
Sponsored by Gilead Sciences · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug, Denikitug (DEN, GS-1811), to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Denikitug Monotherapy and Denikitug-based combinations in in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-Negative, unresectable, recurrent, and/or metastatic, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and esophageal adenocarcinomas.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of DEN as a monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab (NIVO) or ramucirumab (RAM) and paclitaxel (PAC) on objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST Version1.1).
Key Inclusion Criteria:
Has had disease progression during or after first line of systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic gastric, GEJ, or EACs, which must have included at least one of the following:
