Purpose

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with ramucirumab, paclitaxel, and trastuzumab biosimilar as second line treatment of HER2 positive metastatic gastric cancer after failure of first line chemotherapy including trastuzumab. This study is a phase II, single-arm, open label, multi-center study.

Detailed Description

      Approximately 15% of patients with advanced gastric cancer have HER2 overexpression and the
      combined use of trastuzumab and other cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, such as 5-FU and
      cisplatin, in these patients is associated with a significantly improved survival rate
      compared with cytotoxic chemotherapy alone. So, the combination of trastuzumab and
      chemotherapy is currently being used as a standard treatment in HER2 positive advanced
      gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. However, after failing first line treatment with
      such regimen, second line treatment is determined regardless of HER2 status, and the most
      preferred treatment is ramucirumab and paclitaxel combination chemotherapy.

      Recently, the use of trastuzumab in combination with other cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents
      has been reported to be superior to the use of cytotoxic chemotherapy alone in the treatment
      of patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. On the basis of several guidelines,
      it is recommended to extend the use of trastuzumab after disease progression. In addition, in
      some retrospective studies of metastatic gastric cancer, it has been reported that treatment
      with trastuzumab in combination with second line chemotherapy followed by first line
      chemotherapy including trastuzumab is beneficial and it is worthwhile to be tested in the
      prospective study. Furthermore, data on the safety and efficacy of cross-administration of
      trastuzumab biosimilar have not been available yet.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Over 19 years old

          2. Histologically confirmed HER2 overexpressing gastric cancer (HER2 overexpression is
             defined as IHC 3+ or FISH +)

          3. Metastatic gastric cancer

          4. Progressive disease has been confirmed after first line treatment including
             trastuzumab (If the recurrence occurred within 6 months after the completion of
             postoperative adjuvant therapy, it can be considered as first line treatment.)

          5. At least one measurable or evaluable lesion according to RECIST ver 1.1

          6. ECOG performance status 0 or 1

             1.5 x ULN E. AST and ALT < 3 x ULN (if there is a live metastasis, AST and ALT ≤ 5 x
