Each patient must meet the following criteria to be enrolled in this study.
1. The patient has histologically- or cytologically-confirmed gastric carcinoma, including gastric adenocarcinoma or GEJ adenocarcinoma (patients with adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus are eligible if the primary tumor involves the GEJ).
2. The patient has metastatic disease or locally recurrent, unresectable disease.
• Patients with nonregional lymph node metastases are eligible; lymph node metastases must be measurable as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Version 1.0
• Patients with locally-recurrent, unresectable disease are eligible.
• For patients who have received prior radiation therapy, measurable or evaluable lesions must be outside the radiation field, or (for lesions within the radiation field) there must be documented progression following radiation therapy.
3. The patient has measurable disease and/or evaluable disease. Measurable disease is defined as at least one unidimensionally-measurable target lesion (>= 20 mm with conventional techniques or >= 10 mm by spiral CT), as defined by RECIST Version 1.0. Examples of evaluable, nonmeasurable disease include gastric, peritoneal, or mesenteric thickening in areas of known disease, or peritoneal nodules that are too small to be considered measurable by RECIST.
4. The patient has experienced disease progression during or within 4 months after the last dose of first-line therapy for metastatic disease, or during or within 6 months after the last dose of adjuvant therapy.
• Acceptable first-line regimens for this study are combination chemotherapy regimens that include platinum or fluoropyrimidine components (acceptable prior platinum agents are cisplatin, carboplatin, or oxaliplatin; acceptable prior fluoropyrimidine agents are 5-FU, capecitabine, or S-1).
• Elevations in carcinoembryonic antigen or other tumor markers without radiographic evidence of progression do not constitute satisfactory evidence of progression on first-line therapy.
• Patients who are intolerant to first-line chemotherapy regimens are eligible provided there is disease progression within 4 months after the last dose of firstline therapy.
• Patients who have had one or more component(s) of first-line chemotherapy discontinued because of toxicity, but continued to receive the other component(s) of first-line therapy (eg, a FOLFOX regimen in which the oxaliplatin was stopped and the 5-FU/leucovorin was continued), are eligible following disease progression.
• Prior adjuvant therapy is permitted, and patients with disease progression during adjuvant chemotherapy are eligible, provided that disease progression occurs within 6 months after the completion of adjuvant therapy. Patients who experience disease progression more than 6 months after the last dose of adjuvant therapy should receive first-line therapy for metastatic disease, with subsequent progression on first-line therapy a requirement for eligibility.
5. The patientâ??s disease is not amenable to potentially curative resection.
6. The patient is >= 18 years of age.
7. The patient has a life expectancy of >= 12 weeks.
8. The patient has resolution to Grade <= 1 (or to Grade <= 2 i
Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study.
1. The patient has documented and/or symptomatic brain or leptomeningeal metastases.
2. The patient has experienced any Grade 3-4 gastrointestinal bleeding within 3 months prior to randomization.
3. The patient has experienced any arterial thromboembolic events, including but not limited to myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident, or unstable angina, within 6 months prior to randomization.
4. The patient has an ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, symptomatic or poorly controlled cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled thrombotic or hemorrhagic disorder, or any other serious uncontrolled medical disorders in the opinion of the investigator.
5. The patient has ongoing or active psychiatric illness or social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements.
6. The patient has uncontrolled or poorly-controlled hypertension despite standard medical management.
7. The patient has a serious or nonhealing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture within 28 days prior to randomization.
8. The patient has received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy for gastric cancer within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
9. The patient has received any investigational therapy within 30 days prior to randomization.
10. The patient has undergone major surgery within 28 days prior to randomization, or subcutaneous venous access device placement within 7 days prior to randomization.
11. The patient has received prior therapy with an agent that directly inhibits VEGF or VEGFR-2 activity (including bevacizumab), or any antiangiogenic agent.
12. The patient is receiving chronic antiplatelet therapy, including aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, naproxen, and others), dipyridamole or clopidogrel, or similar agents. Once-daily aspirin use (maximum dose 325 mg/day) is permitted.
13. The patient has elective or planned major surgery to be performed during the course of the clinical trial.
14. The patient has a known allergy to any of the treatment components.
15. The patient is pregnant or lactating.
16. The patient is known to be positive for infection with the human immunodeficiency virus.
17. The patient has known alcohol or drug dependency.
18. The patient has a concurrent active malignancy other than adequately-treated nonmelanomatous skin cancer, other noninvasive carcinoma, or in situ neoplasm. A patient with previous history of malignancy is eligible, provided that he/she has been free of disease for > 3 years.
