Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a Phase Ib/II study to identify the RP2D of T-DXd combination with Ram and to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of this combined treatment in advanced gastric cancer. The study will be conducted in two parts: Phase Ib dose escalation study to determine the MTD and RP2D of T-DXd combination and Ram, and Phase II to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of T-DXd combinations with Ram at the RP2D and determine anti-tumor activity.

Full description

This is a Phase Ib/II study to identify the RP2D of T-DXd combination with Ram and to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of this combined treatment in advanced gastric cancer after first-line treatment. The study will be conducted in two parts: Phase Ib dose escalation study to determine the MTD and RP2D of T-DXd combination and Ram, and Phase II to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of T-DXd combinations with Ram at the RP2D and determine anti-tumor activity.

Inclusion criteria

Able and willing to give written informed consent and has signed the appropriate weitten informed consent form(ICF) prior to performance of any trial activityes.
Eligible male and female subjects aged ≥19 years.

- Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/mm3
- Platelets ≥100,000/mm3
- Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3.0 × upper limit of normal (ULN) of the study site (or ≤5.0 × ULN in patients with liver metastases)
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN - Serum albumin ≥2.5 g/dL
- Creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance (either measured value or estimated value using the Cockcroft-Gault equation) >40ml/min - Urinary protein ≤1+ on dipsick or routine urinalysis - INR and PTT/aPTT ≤1.5 × ULN 10. Adequate treatment washout period before randomization/enrollment. - Major Surgery ≥ 4 weeks - Radiation Therapy including palliative stereotactic radiation therapy to chest ≥ 4 weeks
- Anti-Cancer chemotherapy [Immunotherapy (non-antibody based therapy)] ≥ 3 weeks
Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative serum pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner.
Female patients of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must use at least one highly effective method of contraception from the time of screening and must agree to continue using such precautions for 7 months after the last dose of IMP.
Non-sterilized male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a condom with spermicide from screening to 4 months after the final dose of IMP. 14. Female subjects must not donate, or retrieve for their own use, ova from the time of enrollment and throughout the study treatment period, and for at least 7 months after the final study drug administration

Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
Has substance abuse or any other medical conditions such as clinically significant cardiac or psychological conditions that may, in the opinion of the investigator, interfere with the subject's participation in the clinical study or evaluation of the clinical study results.
Has spinal cord compression or clinically active central nervous system metastases, defined as untreated and symptomatic, or requiring therapy with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms.

Receipt of live, attenuated vaccine (mRNA and replication deficient adenoviral vaccines are not considered attenuated live vaccines) within 30 days prior to the first dose of trastuzumab deruxtecan. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine during the study and up to 30 days after the last dose of IMP. 18.
