Brief summary

This is a Global Study of Neoadjuvant-Adjuvant Durvalumab or Placebo and FLOT Chemotherapy Followed by Adjuvant Durvalumab or Placebo in Patients with Resectable Gastric and Gastroesophageal Cancer (GC/GEJC) (MATTERHORN).

Detailed description

This study investigates treatment of durvalumab or placebo therapy combined with FLOT chemotherapy (flurouroacil + leucovorin + oxaliplatin + docetaxel) given before surgery (neoadjuvant) and durvalumab or placebo therapy combined with FLOT chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant), will work and be safe for the treatment of resectable (removable by surgery) gastric or gastroesophageal cancer, and also to better understand the studied disease and associated health problems.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Event-free survival (EFS)Up to 5 yearsEFS is the time from date of randomization until the date of disease progression or death.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To compare Arm A relative to Arm B on overall survival (OS)Up to 5 yearsOverall survival is length of time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.
To compare Arm A relative to Arm B on pathological complete response (pCR) rateUp to 5 yearspCR rate is the proportion of patients who have no residual viable tumor in the resected specimens.
