About
A Phase 2, multi-center, open-label study of cinrebafusp alfa (PRS-343) in combination with ramucirumab and paclitaxel in patients with HER2-high and in combination with tucatanib in patients with HER2-low gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
Full description
This is a multi-center, open-label study of cinrebafusp alfa in combination with clinically established doses of ramucirumab and paclitaxel in patients with HER2-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+ with HER2/neu gene amplification) gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma (Arm 1) and in combination with tucatinib in patients with low levels of HER2 (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ without HER2/neu amplification) (Arm 2).

Arm 1: Demonstration of HER2 positivity assessed by a test with appropriate regulatory validation in a current tissue specimen and following guidelines for assessment in gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma described in Section 4.3 after receiving no more than two prior treatment regimens, including a platinum, a fluoropyrimidine, and HER2-directed therapy such as trastuzumab Arm 2: Demonstration of HER2 IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ without HER2/neu amplification assessed by a test with appropriate regulatory validation in a current tissue specimen and following guidelines for assessment in gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma described in Section 4.3 after completion of the most recent prior treatment regimen
Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
Adequate organ and hematologic function as defined below:
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥ 50% as determined by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan
Resolution to Grade ≤1 by NCI CTCAE v5.0 of all clinically significant toxicities associated with prior therapy or procedures
If sexually active, the patient must be post-menopausal, surgically sterile or using highly effective contraception. Highly effective contraception for women of child-bearing potential and males with female partners of child-bearing potential is defined as 1 barrier method (e.g., condom) and 1 additional method (e.g., hormonal) of contraception during the study and for at least three months from the last study treatment or recommended contraceptive period according to the local label of the concomitant drug if greater than 3 months
Women of child-bearing potential may not be breastfeeding and must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 96 hours prior to start of study treatment
Exclusion criteria
Disease of squamous or undifferentiated histology
History or evidence of known active CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with brain metastases are eligible provided they have shown clinical and radiographic stable disease for at least 4 weeks after definitive therapy and have not used steroids (> 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) for at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment
Arm 1 only: Receipt of any previous systemic therapy (including investigational agents) targeting the VEGF or the VEGFR signaling pathways
Intolerance to trastuzumab or other HER2-directed agent in prior treatment regimen
History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) or any other significant thromboembolism during the three months prior to first dose of study treatment; venous port or catheter thrombosis or superficial venous thrombosis are not considered significant (Arm 1 only). For patients in Arm 2, the investigator is referred to Exclusion Criterion 21 and should consult with the Medical Monitor in the case of a history of these or similar events.
Chronic therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs; e.g., indomethacin, ibuprofen, naproxen or similar agents) or other antiplatelet agents (e.g., clopidogrel, ticlopidine, dipyridamole, anagrelide); aspirin up to 325 mg per day is permitted
Significant bleeding disorders, vasculitis or a significant bleeding episode from the GI tract within 3 months prior to study entry
Arterial thromboembolic event within 6 months prior to study entry
History of acute coronary syndromes, including myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, unstable angina, coronary angioplasty or stenting within past 24 weeks
History of or current Class II, III or IV heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system or symptomatic or poorly controlled cardiac arrhythmia
History of ejection fraction drop below the lower limit of normal with trastuzumab or other HER2-directed therapy
Uncontrolled or poorly-controlled hypertension (arterial hypertension ≥150 mm Hg or diastolic ≥90 mmHg) for > four weeks despite standard medical management; the patient may be re-screening after treatment for hypertension
Any arterial thromboembolic event, including but not limited to myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident or unstable angina, within six months prior to first dose of study treatment
Bowel obstruction, history or presence of inflammatory enteropathy or extensive intestinal resection (hemicolectomy or extensive small intestine resection with chronic diarrhea), Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis or chronic diarrhea
Gastrointestinal perforation or fistula within 6 months prior to study entry or have risk factors for perforation (these events may be acceptable for patients enrolled in Arm 2 after discussion with the Medical Monitor)

Arm 2 only: Inability to swallow pills or presence of any significant gastrointestinal disease which would preclude the adequate absorption of an oral medication.
Cirrhosis at a level of Child-Pugh B or worse OR cirrhosis of any degree and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or hepatorenal syndrome or clinically meaningful ascites resulting from cirrhosis. Clinically meaningful cirrhosis is defined as ascites from cirrhosis requiring diuretics or paracentesis.

Any medical, psychiatric, cognitive or other condition that compromises the patient's ability to understand information, to give informed consent or to comply with the study protocol
Any severe concurrent disease or condition (including active infection, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease) that in the judgment of the Investigator would make study participation inappropriate for the patient
Arm 2 only: Prior anthracycline exposure (epirubicin > 720 mg/m2)
Arm 2 only: Having used a strong cytochrome P450 CYP2C8 inhibitor within three elimination half-lives of the inhibitor or have used a strong CYP3A4 or moderate/strong CYP2C8 inducer within five days prior to first dose of study treatment.

Prior organ transplantation including allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplantation
Arm 2 only: Prior receipt of HER2-directed and/or EGFR-directed tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) agents
