Overview

This is a double-blind, randomized, multiregion, comparative phase Ⅲ clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HLX22 in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced/metastatic adenocarcinoma of the gastric and/or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ).Eligible subjects will be randomized to the two groups based on a 1:1 ratio. Enrolled subjects shall be treated with the study drug until the loss of clinical benefit, death, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or other reasons specified by the protocol (whichever occurs first).

Description

In experimental group: HLX22 (15 mg/kg) + trastuzumab + chemotherapy (XELOX) ± placebo (for pembrolizumab), once every 3 weeks (Q3W).

In control group: Placebo (for HLX22) + trastuzumab + chemotherapy (XELOX) ± pembrolizumab, Q3W.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male/female who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent.
  2. With histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
  3. Had measurable disease as assessed by IRRC according to the RECIST v1.1, the target lesion must not be a bone metastatic lesion only.
  4. HER2-positive tumor defined as either IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ in combination with ISH+ or FISH, as assessed by a central laboratory on a primary or metastatic tumor.
  5. ECOG PS within 7 days before randomization: 0-1.
  6. Expected survival ≥ 6 months.
  7. Had adequate organ function

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with other malignant tumors within 2 years before the randomization.
  2. Evidence of disease progression within 6 months (before randomization) after completion of prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (or both) or radiotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
  3. Previous treatment with any HER2-target therapy.
  4. Active gastrointestinal bleeding
  5. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
  6. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 55%.
  7. Subjects who had known history of severe allergy to any monoclonal antibody or any component of study treatment.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
