About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II Study of Ramucirumab (Cyramza®), Nal-IRI (ONIVYDE®) and Trifluridine/Tipiracil (Lonsurf®) in Second Line Metastatic Gastric Cancer (COOL Study).

Primary Objectives

  • In phase 1b cohort, to determine MTD (maximum tolerated dose) of nal-IRI (ONIVYDE®) in combination with Ramucirumab (Cyramza®) and TAS-102 (LONSURF®)
  • In phase II cohort, to evaluate disease objective response rate (ORR) of Ramucirumab (Cyramza®), nal-IRI (ONIVYDE®) in combination with TAS-102 (LONSURF®) Secondary Objectives
  • To evaluate disease control rate (DCR)
  • To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS)
  • To evaluate overall survival (OS)
  • To assess the safety profile
  • To study the blood biomarkers
Read the detailed description
  • Eligible patients will be treated with infusional nal-IRI (ONIVYDE®, free form) 50/60/70 mg/m2 over 90 minutes day 1, Ramucirumab 8 mg/kg over 60 minutes day 1, in combination with oral TAS-102 (LONSURF®) 30 mg/m2/b.i.d. day 1-5, every 14 days.
  • Every 14 days count as one cycle.
  • Patients will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or other condition meeting the off-study criteria.
  • Scheme of phase 1b: dose Level 0 to 2 will be tested with the following dose levels:
  • Dose level 0= Ramucirumab(Cyramza®) 8mg/kg on day 1, nal-IRI (ONIVYDE®, free form) 50 mg/m2 on day 1 plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil (Lonsurf®) 30mg/m2 on day 1-5, q2wk
  • Dose level 1= Ramucirumab(Cyramza®) 8mg/kg on day 1, nal-IRI (ONIVYDE®, free form) 60 mg/m2 on day 1 plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil (Lonsurf®) 30mg/m2 on day 1-5, q2wk
  • Dose level 2= Ramucirumab(Cyramza®) 8mg/kg on day 1, nal-IRI (ONIVYDE®, free form) 70 mg/m2 on day 1 plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil (Lonsurf®) 30mg/m2 on day 1-5, q2wk
  • Adaptive phase IB cohort:
  • 3+3 dose escalation will be applied for phase Ib cohort. All treated patients of MTD dose level in phase 1b cohort will be incorporated into phase II cohort for final analysis. No intra-patient dose escalation is allowed during DLT period. Patients could only have dose modification after the DLT period. G-CSF prophylaxis is not allowed in DLT period.
  • Dose escalation rule: Two to six patients will be enrolled in each cohort depending on cases with DLTs. The starting dose is dose level 0. If none of the first 3 patients experiences DLT, then dose escalation will proceed to the next cohort of patients. If only 1 of 3 patients developed DLT, the cohort will be expanded to 6 patients. If more than 1 patient developed DLT at a certain dose level/group, the dose level/group is considered intolerable to the patients. If no more than 1 out of 6 patients experience DLT, the dose level/group is considered tolerable. A minimum of 6 evaluable patients will be treated at the MTD. The MTD at which no more than 1 of the 6 patients experience DLT will be determined for the phase II cohort. Based on results from phase IB cohort, MTD will be determined. All treated population in MTD cohort will be incorporated into phase II cohort for final analysis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine MTD (maximum tolerated dose) of nal-IRI (ONIVYDE)

    All treated patients of MTD dose level in phase 1b cohort will be incorporated into phase II cohort for final analysis.

    Measured: Phase I last patient in has been treated for 28 days.

  2. To evaluate disease objective response rate (ORR)

    Based on results from phase Ib cohort, MTD will be determined. All treated population in MTD cohort will be incorporated into phase II cohort for final analysis.

    Measured: Whichever occurs first assessed up to 24 months.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. •To evaluate disease control rate (DCR)

    •Patients will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or other condition meeting the off-study criteria.

    Measured: The time from registration to death from any cause assessed up to 24 months.

  2. •To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS)

    • objective tumor response according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines.

    Measured: The time from registration to occurrence of progression based on the tumor response assessment by scheduled or un- scheduled CT scan or MRI. (whichever occurs first assessed up to 24 months)

  3. •To evaluate overall survival (OS)

    the time from the date of first study treatment to the date of patient death, due to any cause, or to the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: The time from registration to death from any cause assessed up to 24 months.

  4. •To assess the safety profile

    •Safety evaluations: physical examination, vital signs, body weight, ECOG performance status, clinical laboratory values (biochemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), and any adverse event (AE) graded by using CTCAE v5.0 if applicable.

    Measured: The time from registration to death from every 14 days assessed up to 24 months.

  5. •To study the blood biomarkers

    • To evaluate the drug sensitivity of circulating tumor cells to, including but not limited to irinotecan, fluorouracil and ramucirumab.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing nal-IRI /Experimental, Ramucirumab /Experimental and Trifluridine/Tipiracil /Experimental in people with Metastatic Gastric Adenocarcinoma and Second Line, run by National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chien-Ya Hung, BS (+886-3-7206166 ext. 35104, 951106@nhri.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine MTD (maximum tolerated dose) of nal-IRI (ONIVYDE) (time frame: Phase I last patient in has been treated for 28 days.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05927857, which also lists 15 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2026.
