Trial Arms

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Arm A (zolbetuximab plus CAPOX)ExperimentalParticipants will receive a loading dose of zolbetuximab at Cycle 1 Day 1 followed by a lower dose in subsequent cycles every 3 weeks. Additionally, participants will receive CAPOX (capecitabine/oxaliplatin) treatment until IRC confirmed disease progression or a total of 8 treatments (each cycle is defined as 3 weeks = approximately 21 days). Oxaliplatin is administered on day 1 of each cycle, whereas capecitabine is taken twice daily on days 1 through 14. After a maximum of 8 treatments of Oxaplatin, subjects may continue to receive capecitabine twice daily on days 1 through 14 of each cycle at the investigator's discretion until the subject meets study treatment discontinuation criteria.

Time Frame:up to 16 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument developed by the EuroQol Group for use as a generic, preference-based measure of health outcomes. The EQ-5D-5L is a 5-item self-reported measure of functioning and wellbeing, which assesses 5 dimensions of health, including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension comprises 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, extreme problems).

This questionnaire also records the respondent's self-rated health status on a vertical graduated (0 = the worst health a participant can imagine to 100 = the best health a participant can imagine) visual analogue scale. Responses to the 5 items will also be converted to a weighted health state index (utility score) based on values derived from general population samples.
