A Study of IMAB362 in Japanese Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric or Gastro-esophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinoma

A Phase 1 Open-label Study of IMAB362 in Japanese Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric or Gastro-esophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and antitumor activity of IMAB362 in Japanese subjects with locally advanced or metastatic Gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma whose tumors have Claudin (CLDN) 18.2 Expression. This study will also assess pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of IMAB362.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Gastric Cancer; Gastro-esophageal Junction (GEJ) Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Zolbetuximab

Detailed Description

This study consists of two parts (Part 1: Safety; and Part 2: Expansion). First, the subjects will be enrolled in Safety Part with IMAB362 dose-1/2 (Arm A). Then the safety and tolerability of Arm A will be evaluated at Tolerability Evaluation Meeting (TEM). If there are no safety and tolerability concerns, enrollment for the Safety Part with IMAB362 dose-3 (Arm B) and the Expansion Part with IMAB362 dose-1/2 will be opened. For each part, participants who continue to derive clinical benefit and do not have intolerable toxicity from study treatment will be allowed to remain on treatment until treatment discontinuation criterion is met.
