About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Stomach Neoplasms focused on measuring programmed cell death 1 (PD-1, PD1), programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1, PDL1), programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2, PDL2)

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Pembrolizumab + Chemotherapy (FP or CAPOX regimen)

Placebo + Chemotherapy (FP or CAPOX regimen)

Arm Description

Participants receive pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W) for up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years) + physicians' choice of either cisplatin 80 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 Q3W and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) 800 mg/m^2/day via continuous IV infusion on Days 1 to 5 Q3W (FP regimen) OR oxaliplatin 130 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 Q3W + capecitabine 1000 mg/m^2 orally twice a day (BID) on Days 1 to 14 Q3W (CAPOX regimen). Participants who complete up to 35 administrations of pembrolizumab (approximately 2 years) or achieve a complete response (CR) but experience progression of disease (PD), can initiate a second course of pembrolizumab for up to 17 cycles (approximately 1 additional year).

Participants receive placebo on Day 1 Q3W for up to 35 cycles (approximately 2 years) + physicians' choice of either cisplatin 80 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 Q3W and 5FU 800 mg/m^2/day via continuous IV infusion on Days 1 to 5 Q3W (FP regimen) OR oxaliplatin 130 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 Q3W + capecitabine 1000 mg/m^2 orally BID on Days 1 to 14 Q3W (CAPOX regimen).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival (OS) in All Participants
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up. OS was estimated using the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data.
Overall Survival (OS) In Participants With Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up. OS was estimated using the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data.
Overall Survival (OS) In Participants With Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥10
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up. OS was estimated using the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in All Participants
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of ≥1 new lesions was also considered PD. PFS was estimated using the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in All Participants
ORR was defined as the percentage of the participants who had a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD) according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in Participants With Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1
ORR was defined as the percentage of the participants who had a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD) according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR.

Duration of Response (DOR) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in All Participants
DOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) until progressive disease (PD) or death, whichever occurred first. Per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, CR was the disappearance of all target lesions and PR was ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions according to RECIST 1.1. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SOD must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of ≥5 mm.

Per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, CR was the disappearance of all target lesions and PR was ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the SOD of target lesions according to RECIST 1.1. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SOD must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of ≥1 new lesions was also considered PD. DOR for participants who had not progressed or died at the time of analysis was censored at the date of the last tumor assessment. DOR was estimated using the product-limit (Kaplan-Meier) method for censored data.
Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence, in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. The number of participants with at least one AE is presented.
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due To an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3745) in combination with chemotherapy (Cisplatin combined with 5-Fluorouracil [FP regimen] or oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine [CAPOX regimen]) versus placebo in combination with chemotherapy (FP or CAPOX regimens) in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma in adult participants. The primary hypotheses of this study are that pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of overall survival (OS).
