A Study of Onartuzumab (MetMAb) in Combination With mFOLFOX6 in Patients With Metastatic Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Negative Gastroesophageal Cancer

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2014-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6. Patients may continue to receive onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician decision to discontinue treatment.

• Phase: Phase 2

• Adequate laboratory values

Exclusion Criteria:

• HER2-positive tumor (primary tumor or metastasis)

• Previous chemotherapy for locally advanced or metastatic gastric carcinoma (adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy must be completed at least 6 months prior to randomization)

• Prior treatment with investigational drugs that target the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or Met pathway

• History of other malignancy within the previous 5 years, except for appropriately treated and presumed cured carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, Stage 1 uterine cancer, and localized prostate cancer

• Receipt of an investigational drug within 28 days prior to study start

• Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities, except from gastric cancer (e.g., Crohn's disease)
