Inclusion criteria

Key inclusion criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma, including gastric or gastroesophageal-junction adenocarcinoma (Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the lower esophagus acceptable with radiographic or endoscopic documentation of gastroesophageal-junction or proximal-stomach involvement.) 2. Measurable disease (revised RECIST) based on computed tomography, or nonmeasurable disease 3. ECOG performance status 0 or 1 4. Treatment with only 1 prior regimen (as first-line therapy) that must have included a fluoropyrimidine and a platinum-containing agent (Prior adjuvant or neo-adjuvant chemotherapy acceptable provided 6 months elapsed between the end of this therapy and the start of first-line therapy.) 5. Disease progression after the start of the 1 prior regimen based on computed tomography 6. Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function 7. Ability to swallow an oral solid-dosage form of medication Key

Exclusion criteria

1. Squamous cell gastric carcinoma 2. Bone-only metastatic disease 3. History or presence of brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease 4. Operable gastric or gastroesophageal-junction cancer 5. HER2-positive disease if the patient has not previously been treated with an anti-HER2 agent 6. Uncontrolled diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting 7. Known malabsorptive disorder 8. Significant medical disease other than gastric cancer 9. Presence of neuropathy \> Grade 1 (NCI Common Toxicity Criteria) 10. Prior treatment (including adjuvant therapy) with a taxane or other tubulin-targeted agent (indibulin, eribulin, etc.) 11. Prior radiation therapy to more than 25% of the bone marrow 12. Need to continue any regularly-taken medication that is a potent inhibitor or inducer of the CYP3A pathway 13. Pregnancy or lactation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Overall survivalWhen at least 508 events of death have occurred, which is estimated will occur 12 months after the date of randomization of the last patient

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease control rateEstimated will be assessed 12 months after the date of randomization of the last patientThe percentages of patients with complete or partial response of any duration or stable disease lasting at least 6 weeks from the date of randomization (revised RECIST)
Progression-free survivalEstimated will be assessed 12 months after the date of randomization of the last patientCalculated from the date of randomization to the date when disease progression is first documented or when the patient dies within 60 days of the last lesion assessment
Response rate in patients with measurable diseaseEstimated will be assessed 12 months after the date of randomization of the last patientThe percentages of patients with complete or partial response (revised RECIST)
Incidence of adverse eventsThrough 30 days after the last dose of study medicationThe percentages of patients who experience adverse events by specific adverse event term
