NCT01630083

Brief Summary

The purpose of the trial is to assess the therapeutic effects and the safety profile of IMAB362 combined with EOX (epirubicin, oxaliplatin, capecitabine) as first-line treatment for patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach, the esophagus or the gastroesophageal junction compared to EOX alone. Furthermore, sufficient binding of IMAB362 to the target cells is necessary for antitumoral activity. Thus, two dose levels ensuring a serum level above the in vitro predicted clinical efficacy threshold will be investigated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first observation of disease progression (based on central reading) or death from any cause (as assessed by the independent reviewer). Participants without documented progression or death will be censored as of the last tumor evaluation determining lack of progression.

    From randomization to the data cut-off date of 31JAN2019; maximum time on follow-up was, 68.2, 47.2 & 59.6 months in the EOX, EOX+Zolbetuximab 600 mg, and EOX+Zolbetuximab 1000 mg treatment groups respectively.

  • Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as any unintended or undesirable, noxious or pathological change, compared to pre-existing conditions, experienced by a participant during a clinical study or the follow-up period, regardless of relationship to study medication. Treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) are those AEs that started or worsened after the first dose of study medication.

    From the first dose of study drug administration up to 30 days after the last study medication administration (up to 1791 days).

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Clinical PFS

    From randomization to the data cut-off date of 31JAN2019; maximum time on follow-up was, 68.2, 47.2 & 59.6 months in the EOX, EOX+Zolbetuximab 600 mg, and EOX+Zolbetuximab 1000 mg treatment groups respectively.

  • Overall Survival Rate at 12 Months

    Up to 12 months

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    From randomization to the data cut-off date of 31JAN2019; maximum time on follow-up was, 68.2, 47.2 & 59.6 months in the EOX, EOX+Zolbetuximab 600 mg, and EOX+Zolbetuximab 1000 mg treatment groups respectively.

  • Time to Progression (TTP)

    From randomization to the data cut-off date of 31JAN2019; maximum time on follow-up was, 68.2, 47.2 & 59.6 months in the EOX, EOX+Zolbetuximab 600 mg, and EOX+Zolbetuximab 1000 mg treatment groups respectively.

  • Objective Tumor Response Rate (ORR)

    Up to week 94

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

EOX Treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive up to 8 cycles of epirubicin, oxaliplatin and capecitabine (EOX) chemotherapy treatment alone (50 mg/m\^2 epirubicin intravenously on day 1 of each cycle, 130 mg/m\^2 oxaliplatin intravenously on day 1 of each cycle, 625 mg/m\^2 capecitabine orally twice daily on days 1 to 21 of each cycle). The first dose of capecitabine to be taken in the evening of day 1.

Drug: epirubicinDrug: oxaliplatinDrug: capecitabine

EOX+zolbetuximab 800/600 mg/m^2

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will received up to 8 cycles of EOX chemotherapy treatment in combination with zolbetuximab administered as loading dose of 800 mg/m\^2 intravenously on day 1 of cycle 1 followed by 600 mg/m\^2 intravenously on day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Zolbetuximab to be administered prior to EOX chemotherapy. After completion of the EOX treatment phase, participants will be permitted to continue zolbetuximab monotherapy (600 mg/m\^2 every 3 weeks to be administered intravenously as a 2-hour infusion) until progressive disease (PD), withdrawal of consent or unacceptable toxicity. PD per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, an absolute increase of at least 5mm must also be demonstrated, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions and appearance of one or more new lesions is considered progression.

Zolbetuximab to be administered prior to EOX chemotherapy. After completion of the EOX treatment phase, participants will be permitted to continue zolbetuximab monotherapy (1000 mg/m\^2 every 3 weeks administered intravenously as a 2-hour infusion ) until PD, withdrawal of consent or unacceptable toxicity.

EOX TreatmentEOX+zolbetuximab 1000 mg/m^2EOX+zolbetuximab 800/600 mg/m^2

Two different formats of zolbetuximab, comprising different strengths, to be provided. Vials contained 22 mg or 105 mg of zolbetuximab. Prior to administration, zolbetuximab will be reconstituted with 1.1 mL (22 mg zolbetuximab vials) or 5.0 mL (105 mg zolbetuximab vials) water for injection, which will result in a concentration of 20 mg/mL zolbetuximab. The extractable volume per vial will be 1 mL (for 22 mg zolbetuximab vials) or 5 mL (for 105 mg zolbetuximab vials). The reconstituted solution will be further diluted with sodium chloride 0.9% to a final concentration of 2 mg/mL zolbetuximab. Zolbetuximab will be administered as an intravenous infusion over 2 to 3 hours.
