Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: S095029 and pembrolizumab; Participants diagnosed with gastric cancer (GC) or gastroesophageal junction cancer (GEJ), not previously treated with checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) may first be enrolled into a Phase 1b safety lead-in part which will be used to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of S095029 in combination with pembrolizumab. During the Phase 2 part, participants will receive the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of S095029, along with pembrolizumab.

Drug: S095029; Participants will be treated with S095029 via intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W).; Drug: pembrolizumab 200 mg (KEYTRUDA ®); Participants will be treated with 200 mg of pembrolizumab via intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W).

IPD Plan Description

Qualified scientific and medical researchers can request access to anonymized patient-level and study-level clinical trial data.

Access can be requested for all interventional clinical studies:

• used for Marketing Authorization (MA) of medicines and new indications approved after 1 January 2014 in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United States (US).
• where Servier is the Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH). The date of the first MA of the new medicine (or the new indication) in one of the EEA Member States will be considered for this scope.

In addition, access can be requested for all interventional clinical studies in patients:

• sponsored by Servier
• with a first patient enrolled as of 1 January 2004 onwards
• for New Chemical Entity or New Biological Entity (new pharmaceutical form excluded) for which development has been terminated before any Marketing authorization (MA) approval.

• IPD Sharing Time Frame: After Marketing Authorization in EEA or US if the study is used for the approval.
• IPD Sharing Access Criteria: Researchers should register on Servier Data Portal and fill in the research proposal form. This form in four parts should be fully documented. The Research Proposal Form will not be reviewed until all mandatory fields are completed.
