Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adults with histologically documented unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer not amenable to curative therapy 2. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) >= 10% 2+/3+ tumor cell staining as determined by centrally performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing, based on tumor sample either archival (obtained within 6 months/180 days prior to signing pre-screening informed consent) or a fresh biopsy 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) less than or equal to 1 4. Measurable disease or non-measurable, but evaluable disease, according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) V 1.1 5.

Adequate organ and bone marrow function: - absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1.5 times 10^9/L - platelet count greater than or equal to 100 times 10^9/L - hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL without red blood cell (RBC) transfusion within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment - aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (or less than 5 times ULN if liver involvement). Total bilirubin less than 1.5 times ULN (or less than 2 times ULN if liver involvement); with the exception of participants with Gilbert's disease) - calculated or measured creatinine clearance (CrCl) of >= 30 mL/minute calculated using the formula of Cockcroft and Gault ([140 - Age]) x Mass [kg]/[72 x Creatinine mg/dL]) (x 0.85 if female) - international normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) less than 1.5 times ULN except for participants receiving anticoagulation, who must be on a stable dose of anticoagulant therapy for 6 weeks prior to enrollment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior treatment for metastatic or unresectable disease (Note: prior adjuvant, neo-adjuvant and peri-operative therapy is allowed if completed more than 6 months prior to first dose of study treatment) 2. Prior treatment with any selective inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor - fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGF-FGFR) pathway 3. Known human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive 4.
