Brief summary

DESTINY-Gastric03 will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) alone or in combination with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy in HER2-expressing advanced/metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and esophageal adenocarcinoma patients. Study hypotheses: Combination of T-DXd with cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy administered to subjects at the recommended phase 2 dose will show manageable safety and tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy so as to permit further clinical testing. T-DXd in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitor administered to HER2-expressing gastric, GEJ and esophageal cancer patients who have not received prior treatment for advanced/metastatic disease will show preliminary evidence of anti-tumour activity and the potential to become a therapeutic option for this patient population.

Intervention model description

The study will consist of 2 phases: a dose escalation phase (Part 1) and dose expansion phases (Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5). Part 1 will enroll HER2-overexpressing (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/ISH+), previously treated gastric, gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) or esophageal cancer patients, and Part 2 will enroll HER2-overexpressing patients who have not received prior treatment for metastatic or unresectable disease. Part 3, Part 4 and Part 5 will enroll HER2-expressing patients who have not received prior treatment for metastatic or unresectable disease. In addition to safety and tolerability, this study will also assess ORR, DoR, DCR, OS, PFS and other measures of antitumor activity among treatment groups. Tumor evaluation using RECIST v1.1 will be conducted at screening and every 6 weeks until RECIST 1.1 objective disease progression or withdrawal of consent.
