E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase 2 • To assess the effect and contribution of ALX148 plus trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel on objective response rate (ORR), compared to a historical control with a combination of ramucirumab and paclitaxel, in patients with metastatic HER2-overexpressing gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma that has progressed on or after a prior HER2-directed agent and fluoropyrimidine- or platinum-containing chemotherapy.
Phase 3 • To assess the effect of ALX148 plus trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel versus ramucirumab and paclitaxel on overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic HER2-overexpressing gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma that has progressed on or after a prior HER2-directed agent and fluoropyrimidine- or platinum-containing chemotherapy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Phase 2 • To assess the effect of ALX148 plus trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel on objective response rate (ORR) using blinded independent central review (BICR). • To assess secondary measures of efficacy for ALX148 administered in combination with trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel versus trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel. • To assess the safety and tolerability of ALX148 administered in combination with trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel versus trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel. • To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and evaluate the immunogenicity of ALX148. Phase 3 (in addition to above) • To assess the impact of ALX148 administered in combination with trastuzumab, ramucirumab, and paclitaxel versus ramucirumab and paclitaxel on patient reported outcomes of quality of life. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Age ≥18 years (except in regions in which the minimum age for subject participation is >18 years).
Patients with HER2-overexpressing advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma that has progressed on or after a prior HER2-directed agent and fluoropyrimidine- or platinum-containing chemotherapy (2nd-line or 3rd-line). Phase 2: HER2 overexpression determined by an FDA-approved test for gastric/GEJ cancer in the most recent tissue sample. If safe and feasible, it is recommended that patient eligibility be based on a biopsy obtained after prior trastuzumab treatment. Phase 3: HER2 overexpression (in a tissue sample taken after the patient’s most recent HER2-directed therapy) determined by HER2 protein overexpression and/or HER2 gene amplification in tumor specimens assessed with FDA-approved (and local regulatory authority-approved) tests specific for gastric cancer. (HER2 positivity will be centrally assessed for eligibility in Phase 3.)
Patients must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST version 1.1. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
Adequate bone marrow, renal, liver, cardiac (via ECG), clotting (INR/PT and PTT) function.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) must be 0 or 1. Resolved acute effects of any prior therapy.
Patients of childbearing potential must be non-pregnant and must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study.
Consent to the study and study procedures.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients with known symptomatic CNS metastases or leptomeningeal disease requiring steroids. Patients with previously diagnosed brain metastases are eligible if they have completed their treatment and have recovered from the acute effects of radiation therapy or surgery prior to study entry, have discontinued corticosteroid treatment for these metastases and are clinically stable off anticonvulsants for at least 4 weeks and are neurologically stable before enrollment.
Prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment. Note: Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.
Prior treatment with anti-CD47 or anti-SIRPα agent or ramucirumab or any other systemic anticancer therapy within 4 weeks of starting study treatment.
Any Grade 3-4 GI bleeding or history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), arterial thrombosis or any other significant thromboembolism (venous port or catheter thrombosis or superficial venous thrombosis are not considered “significant”) within 3 months prior to first dose of Cycle 1 Day 1.
Cirrhosis at a level of Child-Pugh B (or worse) or cirrhosis (any degree) and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or clinically meaningful ascites resulting from cirrhosis. Clinically meaningful ascites is defined as ascites from cirrhosis requiring diuretics or paracentesis.
Prior history of GI perforation/fistula (within 6 months of first dose of protocol therapy) or risk factors for perforation. |
