Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacodynamic, Pharmacokinetic

To assess the safety and tolerability of domvanalimab, zimberelimab, and quemliclustat-based combinations in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, GEJ, and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

To assess the clinical activity of domvanalimab, zimberelimab, and quemliclustat-based combinations in participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, GEJ, and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Secondary objectives 3

  1. To assess the clinical activity of the study treatment in each cohort according to PD-L1 expression.
  2. To describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of domvanalimab, zimberelimab, and quemliclustat in combinations with and without chemotherapy.
  3. To describe immunogenic responses to domvanalimab and zimberelimab in immunotherapy-based combinations.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 5

  1. Participants with histologically confirmed diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric, GEJ, or esophageal adenocarcinoma with life expectancy ≥3 months as assessed by the Investigator
  2. Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) Performance Score of 0-1
  3. At least one measurable target lesion per RECIST v1.1.
  4. Adequate organ and marrow function
  5. Able to provide an archival tumor sample that is representative of the cancer under investigation and suitable for central PD-L1 testing

Exclusion criteria 5

  1. Participants with underlying medical conditions that, in the Investigator's or Sponsor's opinion, will make the administration of investigational products hazardous
  2. Only for Cohort A: Known Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER-2) positive tumor
  3. Known untreated, symptomatic, or actively progressing central nervous system (brain) metastases. Participants with leptomeningeal metastases are excluded from enrollment.
