Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Derazantinib
In Substudies 1 and 3.1, patients with HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction harboring FGFR genetic aberrations will receive derazantinib.
|
Drug: Derazantinib
Derazantinib will be administered orally at a dose of 300 mg once a day and at a dose of 200 mg twice daily as monotherapy in the Substudy 1. |
Experimental: Derazantinib-paclitaxel-ramucirumab
In Substudies 2 and 3.2, patients with HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction harboring FGFR genetic aberrations will receive derazantinib-paclitaxel-ramucirumab in combination.
|
Drug: Derazantinib-paclitaxel-ramucirumab
Derazantinib will be administered at the RP2D for derazantinib-paclitaxel-ramucirumab determined in Substudy 2 in combination with paclitaxel and ramucirumab. Paclitaxel will be administered intravenously at the RP2D for derazantinib-paclitaxel-ramucirumab determined in Substudy 2 on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle in combination with derazantinib and ramucirumab. Ramucirumab will be administered intravenously at the RP2D for derazantinib-paclitaxel-ramucirumab determined in Substudy 2 every 2 weeks in combination with derazantinib and paclitaxel. |
Experimental: Derazantinib-atezolizumab
In Substudy 3.3, patients with HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction harboring FGFR genetic aberrations will receive derazantinib-atezolizumab in combination.
|
Drug: Derazantinib-atezolizumab
Derazantinib will be administered orally at a dose of 300 mg once a day in combination with atezolizumab. Atezolizumab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 1200 mg every 3 weeks in combination with derazantinib. |
Active Comparator: Standard of care
In Substudy 3.4, patients with HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction harboring FGFR genetic aberrations will receive the Standard of Care drugs paclitaxel-ramucirumab in combination.
|
Drug: Paclitaxel-ramucirumab
Paclitaxel will be administered intravenously at a dose of 80 mg/m² on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle in combination with ramucirumab. Ramucirumab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 8 mg/kg every 2 weeks in combination with paclitaxel. |
- Objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 in Substudy 1 (in two subgroups Cohort 1.1 and 1.2) and Substudy 3) [ Time Frame: Approximately 30 months ]ORR will be measured by the proportion of patients with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
- 4-month progression-free survival rate (PFS4, in a subgroup (Cohort 1.3) within Substudy 1) [ Time Frame: Approximately 18 months ]PFS4 will be measured by the proportion of patients alive and free of disease progression by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST. 1.1
- Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of derazantinib-paclitaxel-ramucirumab in combination (Substudy 2) [ Time Frame: Approximately 18 months ]RP2D will be determined from safety and tolerability according to the aggregate of dose-limiting toxicity criteria and adverse event (AE) data, and considering further pharmacokinetic and efficacy data of the combination.
- ORR per RECIST 1.1 in subgroup Cohort 1.3 within Substudy 1and in Substudy 3 [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]ORR will be measured by the proportion of patients with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by blinded independent central review (BICR).
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]Measured by the proportion of patients with confirmed CR, PR or stable disease (SD) by BICR
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]DOR will be calculated from the first date of documented tumor response to disease progression by BICR (or death if no documentation of PD is obtained)
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]PFS will be measured from patient enrollment to progressive disease (PD) date by BICR
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]OS will be measured from patient enrollment to time of death
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile: Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of derazantinib 200 mg twice daily monotherapy [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]Derazantinib plasma concentrations including Cmax will be assessed by measurements in plasma samples
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile: Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of derazantinib 200 mg twice daily monotherapy [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]AUC will be assessed by measurements of derazantinib in plasma samples
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile: The time to reach Cmax (Tmax) of derazantinib 200 mg twice daily monotherapy [ Time Frame: Approximately 24 months ]Tmax will be assessed by measurements of derazantinib in plasma samples
