For patients not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: INR or aPTT = 1.5 x ULN 12. For patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: stable anticoagulant regimen 13. Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening 14. Negative total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) test at screening, or positive total HBcAb test followed by quantitative hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA = 500 IU/mL at screening 15. Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test at screening, or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV RNA test at screening 16. Tumour is amenable to safe repeated biopsies and patient agrees to undergo biopsies for translational endpoints. 17. In patients who are receiving anticoagulation, stopping anticoagulation for biopsies must be deemed safe by the treating team. 28. Tumours should be advanced and inoperable or metastatic 29. Patients on oral anticoagulation are required to change to low molecular weight heparin prior to study entry to be eligible. In patients who are receiving anticoagulation, stopping anticoagulation for biopsies must be deemed safe by the treating team. 30. Patient is fit to undergo all protocol investigations and receive all protocol treatment based on the assessment oncology clinics 31. Willingness and ability to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including scheduled visits, examinations, investigations and treatment plans 32. Pregnancy must be excluded with a negati

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of administering DKN-01, a Wnt inhibitor, plus atezolizumab, an anti-PDL1 monoclonal antibody in patients with advanced stomach or oesophageal adenocarcinoma who have been previously treated with chemotherapy. This trial is in 2 stages: the first stage (Phase IIA, safety run-in) will establish a safe and tolerated dose of DKN-01 in combination with atezolizumab and the second stage (Phase IIB, efficacy) will assess the efficacy of this combination therapy in achieving radiological response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.;Secondary Objective: - To assess safety and side effects of DKN-01 plus atezolizumab and impact of survival and disease control in trial population - To assess the effect of each drug on the cancer cells in biopsies. - To asess the effect of therapy on survival.;Primary end point(s): Phase IIA safety run in: inform safe and tolerable dose for efficacy phase Phase IIB efficacy phase: Objective Response rate (CR or PR as their best overall response during treatment) according to RECIST1.1 criteria (additional iRECIST criteria will be used in a sensitivity analysis).
