Purpose

A Phase 2a, Multicenter, Open-Label Study of DKN-01 in Combination with Tislelizumab ± Chemotherapy as First-Line or Second-Line Therapy in Adult Patients with Inoperable, Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

Detailed Description

      This is a Phase 2a nonrandomized, open-label, multicenter study to be conducted concurrently
      in 2 Parts (Parts A and B). Approximately 72 patients aged 18 years or older with inoperable,
      histologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic G/GEJ adenocarcinoma with measurable
      disease (RECIST v1.1) requiring therapy will be enrolled in the study. Both parts are
      designed to evaluate safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the combination therapy of
      intravenous (IV) DKN-01 and tislelizumab ± CAPOX in G/GEJ adenocarcinoma patients. Treatment
      continues in repeating 21-day cycles until patient meets criteria for discontinuation or is
      no longer deriving clinical benefit. Parts A and B will be enrolled concurrently. Two doses
      of DKN-01 will be evaluated in Part B (Part B1 and Part B2)

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Part A First Line TreatmentExperimentalPart A patients will receive IV DKN-01 (300 mg) on Days 1 and 15, IV tislelizumab (200 mg) on Day 1, IV oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2) on Day 1, and oral capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 twice daily [BID]) on Days 1-15 of each 21-day cycle. Part A is restricted to patients who have not had prior systemic therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease. Patients may have received prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy as long as it was completed without disease recurrence for at least 6 months.
