Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female at least 18 years old or older. 2. Documented primary diagnosis of histologic- or cytologic-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. 3. Patients have locally advanced unresectable or metastatic disease that has progressed since last treatment. 4. One or more measurable or nonmeasurable evaluable lesions per RECIST 1.1. 5. Patients should have failed or were intolerant to at least two prior lines of standard chemotherapies with each containing one or more of the following agents: o Fluoropyrimidine (IV 5-FU, capecitabine, or S-1), o platinum (cisplatin or oxaliplatin), o taxanes (paclitaxel or docetaxel) or epirubicin, o irinotecan, o trastuzumab in case of HER2-positive, o ramucirumab o nivolumab o pembrolizumab Previous treatments with experimental agents (except experimental antiangiogenic agents) alone or as part of the first three prior therapy lines are allowed but not mandatory. A maximum number of three prior therapy lines are allowed, unless nivolumab or pembrolizumab was used in a prior line, for which case a maximum of four prior therapy lines are allowed. (For the patients whose disease recurred within 24 weeks from the last dose of adjuvant anticancer chemotherapy, that adjuvant anticancer chemotherapy is counted as 1 prior chemotherapy line.) 6. Disease progression within 6 months after the last treatment. 7. Patients who have adequate bone-marrow, renal and liver function including; a. Hematologic: Absolute neutrophil count = 1,500/mm3, Platelets = 100,000/mm3, Hemoglobin = 9.0 g/dL (Blood transfusion to meet the inclusion criteria within 2 weeks is not allowed.). b. Renal: Creatinine clearance (according to Cockcroft-Gault Equation or by 24 hr urine collection) > 50 mL/min and serum creatinine < 1.0 x ULN. c. Hepatic: Serum bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN, AST and ALT = 3.0 x ULN (= 5.0 x UNL, if with liver metastasis). d. Blood coagulation tests: PTT and INR = 1.5 x ULN and = 1.5 x ULN, respectively. e. The patient’s urinary protein should be < 2+ on dipstick or routine urinalysis. If urine dipstick or routine analysis indicates proteinuria = 2+, then a 24-hour urine or urine protein/creatinine ratio must be collected and must demonstrate < 2 g of protein in 24 hours to allow participation in the study. 8. Patients whose Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status are evaluated to be = 1. 9. Expected survival of = 12 weeks, in the opinion of the investigator. 10. Ability to swallow the investigational product tablets. 11. Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at the Screening Visit, at the beginning of every treatment cycle, at the end of treatment, and at follow-up visit. Females must be surgically sterile, postmenopausal for at least 1 year prior to Screening Visit (no other medical cause involved) or must be using a highly effective method of birth control according to applicable guidelines. Acceptable methods of birth control include: combined estrogen-progestogen or progestogen-only hormone contraceptives [oral, non-oral, or implants], intrauterine contraceptive device or Intrauterine Contraceptive System that are approved or certified in Japan or applicable country. Other intrauterine contraceptive device, contraception double barrier methods such as condom, sponge, cervical cap and diaphragm with spermicides, if locally determined to be highly effective outside of Japa
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. History of another malignancy within 2 years prior to randomization. Subjects with the following are eligible for this study if, in the opinion of the investigator, they do not pose a significant risk to life expectancy: - Bladder tumors considered superficial such as noninvasive (T1a) and carcinoma in situ (Tis): Curatively treated cervical carcinoma in situ; Thyroid papillary cancer with prior treatment; Carcinoma of the skin without melanomatous features; Prostate cancer which has been surgically or medically treated and not likely to recur within 2 years 2. CNS metastases as shown by radiology records or clinical evidence of symptomatic CNS involvement in the last 3 months prior to randomization. Patients are eligible if metastases have been treated and have returned to neurologic baseline or are neurologically stable (except for residual signs or symptoms related to the CNS treatment). 3. Cytotoxic chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or other targeted therapies within 3 weeks (4 weeks in cases of ramucirumab, mitomycin C, nitrosourea, lomustine; 1 week in case of biopsy) prior to randomization (Adjuvant radiotherapy given to local area for non-curative symptom relief is allowed until 2 weeks before randomization.). 4. Therapy with clinically significant systemic anticoagulant or antithrombotic agents within 7 days prior to randomization that may prevent blood clotting and, in the investigator’s opinion, could place the subject at risk. Maximum dose of 325 mg/day of aspirin is allowed. 5. Patients who had therapeutic paracentesis of ascites (> 1L) within the 3 months prior to starting study treatment or who, in the opinion of the investigator, will likely need therapeutic paracentesis of ascites (> 1L) within 3 months of starting study treatment. 6. Previous treatment with Apatinib. 7. Known hypersensitivity to Apatinib or components of the formulation. 8. Concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19. 9. Active bacterial infections. 10. Patients with substance abuse or medical, psychological, or social conditions that may interfere with the patient’s participation in the study or evaluation of the study results. Conditions include but are not limited to: Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; Active or chronic hepatitis B or C infection or requiring treatment with antiviral therapy or prophylactic antiviral unless evidence of viral suppression has been documented and the patient will remain on appropriate antiviral therapy throughout. 11. Patients who participated, within 4 weeks prior to randomization, or are participating in any other clinical trial. 12. Pregnant or breast-feeding women. 13. History of drug or alcohol abuse within past 5 years. 14. Medical or psychiatric illnesses that, in the investigator’s opinion, may impact the safety of the subject or the objectives of the study. 15. History of uncontrolled hypertension (Blood pressure = 140/90 mmHg and change in antihypertensive medication within 7 days prior to randomization) that is not well managed by medication and the risk of which may be precipitated by a VEGF inhibitor therapy. 16. Patients who have known history of symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association III-IV), symptomatic or poorly controlled cardiac arrhythmia, complete left bundle branch block, bifascicular block, or any clinically significant ST segment and/or T-wave abnormalities, Q
