About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of MK-2870 Versus Treatment of Physician's Choice in 3L+ Advanced/Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (Gastric Adenocarcinoma, Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma, and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma)
This study will compare how safe and effective sacituzumab tirumotecan is versus the treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in participants with advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The primary hypothesis of this study is sacituzumab tirumotecan is superior to TPC with respect to Overall Survival (OS).
- Conditions
- Gastroesophageal Cancer
- Being tested
- Sacituzumab tirumotecan, Trifluridine-Tipiracil, Irinotecan, Paclitaxel, Docetaxel
- Keywords
- Gastroesophageal cancer, Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, Gastric adenocarcinoma, Esophageal adenocarcinoma
- Medical subject headings
- Adenocarcinoma Of Esophagus
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Sacituzumab tirumotecanBiological
Also called SKB264, MK-2870
Participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan as 4mg/kg IV infusion on days 1, 15, and 29 of every 42-day cycle.
Trifluridine-TipiracilDrug
Trifluridine-tipiracil will be administered at 35 mg/m^2 as tablet orally twice a day on days 1-5 and 8-12 of every 28-day cycle.
IrinotecanDrug
Irinotecan will be administered at a dose of 150 mg/m^2 by IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle.
PaclitaxelDrug
Paclitaxel will be administered at a dose of 80 mg/m^2 by IV infusion on days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle.
DocetaxelDrug
Docetaxel will be administered at a dose of 75 mg/m^2 by IV infusion on day 1 of a 21-day cycle.
Rescue medicationsDrug
Participants are required to receive prophylactic mouthwash (steroid mouthwash [dexamethasone or equivalent] is highly recommended) to mitigate the onset and severity of stomatitis or oral mucositis. Additionally, participants may receive mucoadhesive hydrogel and oral nystatin suspension or other topical antifungal agents. Additional recommended rescue medications are histamine-1 (H1) receptor antagonist, H2 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, and dexamethasone or equivalent, at the investigator's discretion.
Supportive care measuresDrug
Participants are allowed to take supportive care measures for the management of adverse events associated with study intervention at the discretion of the investigator. Supportive care measures may include but are not limited to antidiarrheal agents, antiemetic agents, opiate and non-opiate analgesic agents, appetite stimulants, and granulocyte and erythroid growth factors.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Measured: Up to ~ 31 months
Secondary outcomes (5)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) will be presented.
Measured: Up to ~ 25 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by BICR will be presented.
Measured: Up to ~ 25 months
Duration of Response (DOR)
For participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until PD or death. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by BICR will be presented.
Measured: Up to ~ 25 months
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.
Measured: Up to ~ 36 months
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.
Measured: Up to ~ 36 months
