Conditions

Adenocarcinoma Gastric Stage IV With Metastases, Adenocarcinoma - GEJ

Keywords

Human epidermal receptor 2 positive, Unresectable or metastatic, HER2, Prior treatment regimen included trastuzumab

Brief summary

This study will find out if trastuzumab deruxtecan is safe and works for participants with gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. They must have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer: * that cannot be removed surgically * that has moved to other parts of the body * that got worse during or after treatment that included trastuzumab The study will enroll about 80 participants. Sites will be in North America and the European Union.

Inclusion criteria

* Men or women ≥18 years old (local regulatory guidelines apply) * Has pathologically documented HER2-positive gastric or GEJ cancer that is unresectable or metastatic, and that progressed during or after treatment regimen containing trastuzumab * Has at least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1, as confirmed by investigator review * If of reproductive potential, agrees to use a highly effective form of contraception or avoid intercourse during and upon completion of the study and for at least 7 months for females and 4 months for males after the last dose of study drug
