Brief summary

This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with 5-fluorouracil, folinic Acid, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) in participants with metastatic human epidermal growth receptor (HER) 2-negative and MET-positive adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either onartuzumab or placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6. Participants may continue to receive onartuzumab or placebo until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant or physician decision to discontinue treatment.

Interventions

Participants will receive 5-fluorouracil 400 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) IV bolus and then 2400 mg/m\^2 as a continuous IV infusion over 46-48 hours on Day 1 of every cycle until disease progression or at the maximum of 12 cycles, whichever occurs first.

DRUGFolinic acid

Participants will receive folinic acid 400 mg/m\^2 IV infusion over 2 hours on Day 1 of every cycle until disease progression or at the maximum of 12 cycles, whichever occurs first.

Participants will receive onartuzumab 10 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 of every cycle (each cycle = 14 days) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant or physician decision to discontinue treatment.

DRUGOxaliplatin

Participants will receive oxaliplatin 85 mg/m\^2 IV infusion over 2 hours on Day 1 of every cycle until disease progression or at the maximum of 12 cycles, whichever occurs first.

DRUGPlacebo

Participants will receive onartuzumab matching placebo on Day 1 of every cycle (each cycle = 14 days) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant or physician decision to discontinue treatment.

Inclusion criteria

* Adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction with inoperable, metastatic disease, not amenable to curative therapy * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1 * Life expectancy greater than (\>) 3 months * Presence of tissue sample for IHC assay of MET receptor and HER2 status * Tumor (primary or metastatic lesion) defined as MET-positive by IHC * Measurable disease or non-measurable but evaluable disease, according to the RECIST v1.1; Participants with peritoneal disease would generally be regarded as having evaluable disease and allowed to enter the trial * For women who are not postmenopausal or surgically sterile; agreement to use an adequate method of contraception (hormonal implant) during the treatment period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of onartuzumab/placebo and 6 months after the last dose of oxaliplatin * For men: agreement to use a barrier method of contraception during the treatment period and for 90 days after the last dose of onartuzumab/placebo and 6 months after the last dose of oxaliplatin

Exclusion criteria

* HER2-positive tumor (primary tumor or metastasis) * Previous chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic gastric carcinoma (adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy must be completed at least 6 months prior to randomization) * Prior treatment with investigational drugs that target the human growth factor (HGF) or MET pathway * History of another malignancy within the previous 5 years, except for appropriately treated and presumed cured carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, Stage 1 uterine cancer, and localized prostate cancer * Pregnancy or lactation * Receipt of an investigational drug within 28 days prior to study start * Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities, apart from gastric cancer, including uncontrolled inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases * Significant history of cardiac disease * Significant vascular disease * Serious active infection at the time of randomization, or other serious underlying medical conditions that would impair the ability of the participant to receive protocol treatment * Infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C * Radiotherapy within 4 weeks before start of study treatment * Major surgery within 4 weeks before start of study treatment, without complete recovery * Any condition (psychological, geographical) that does not permit compliance with study and follow-up procedures * Peripheral neuropathy * Prior unanticipated severe reaction to fluoropyrimidine therapy * Known sensitivity or contraindication to any component of study treatment * Active gastrointestinal bleeding
