Substudy 06D: Combination Therapies in Second Line (2L) Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (MK-3475-06D/Keymaker-U06)

Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

Start Date

8/7/2024

Completion Date

8/8/2030

Summary

This is a phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label umbrella platform study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) plus paclitaxel versus ramucirumab plus paclitaxel, and HER3-DXD plus ramucirumab versus ramucirumab plus paclitaxel for the treatment of participants with advanced or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, or esophageal adenocarcinoma who have failed 1 prior line of therapy. This is an estimation study, and no formal hypothesis testing will be performed.

Detailed Description

This is a substudy of the master protocol MK-3475-U06 (KEYMAKER-U06).

Eligibility Criteria

Age Range: 18 years to No maximum

Inclusion Criteria: The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: * Has histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of previously treated, second line (2L) (received first line (1L) treatment) gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, or esophageal adenocarcinoma * Has metastatic disease or locally advanced, unresectable disease * Has experienced documented objective radiographic or clinical disease progression during or after 1L therapy containing any platinum/fluoropyrimidine doublet with or without immunotherapy * Tumor tissue must be confirmed as negative for HER2 expression (IHC 0/1+ or IHC2+/in situ hybridization negative) as classified by American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists (ASCO-CAP) guidelines * Can provide a core/excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated (collected from a biopsy performed after the most recent systemic anticancer therapy regimen) * AEs due to previous anticancer therapies must be ≤Grade 1 or baseline (except alopecia and vitiligo).

Administration of killed vaccines is allowed * Has received an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to study intervention administration * Has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years. Basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ, excluding carcinoma in situ of the bladder, that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded * Has known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis * Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy * Has concurrent active Hepatitis B (defined as HBsAg positive and/or detectable HBV deoxyribonucleic acid) and Hepatitis C virus (defined as anti-HCV antibody positive and detectable HCV ribonucleic acid) infection * History of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease, or where suspected ILD or pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening * Has severe hypersensitivity (Grade ≥3) to MK-2870, or HER3-DXd, any of their excipients, and/or to another biologic therapy * Has not adequately recovered from major surgery or have ongoing surgical complications
