Study on Sonesitatug Vedotin and Capecitabine, With or Without Rilvegostomig, for Advanced Stomach and Esophageal Cancer

Sponsor: AstraZeneca

Sponsor score: 40

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07431281

This clinical trial is testing a new treatment combination for patients with advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that is positive for Claudin18.2 and negative for HER2. The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the drugs sonesitatug vedotin and capecitabine, with or without rilvegostomig.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine if a combination of the drugs sonesitatug vedotin and capecitabine, with or without rilvegostomig, can effectively treat advanced stomach, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal cancer that is positive for Claudin18.2 and negative for HER2. The study will include two groups: one group will receive all three drugs if they are also positive for PD-L1, while the other group will receive sonesitatug vedotin and capecitabine if they are PD-L1 negative or not eligible for certain immune therapies.

Description

This Phase III study is designed to test the effectiveness and safety of a new treatment for advanced stomach and esophageal cancers that express Claudin18.2 and do not express HER2. The study involves two groups of participants. Group 1 will receive a combination of sonesitatug vedotin, capecitabine, and rilvegostomig if they are also positive for PD-L1. Group 2 will receive sonesitatug vedotin and capecitabine if they are PD-L1 negative or not eligible for immune checkpoint inhibitors. The study will assess how well these treatments work and their safety in patients.
