Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•For potential subjects in Cohort 1 (3L\+ cohort):
•1\.Have received, and progressed on, at least two prior chemotherapy regimens. For the purposes of this study, perioperative, neoadjuvant, adjuvant chemotherapy regimens will not count as a prior regimen, unless the patient progressed while receiving adjuvant therapy or within 6 months of receiving adjuvant treatment. The date of progression and how progression was determined must be known with documentation available confirming progression on or after treatment. Previous treatment regimens must have included a fluoropyridine and platinum doublet (as part of either a line of therapy or adjuvant treatment.
•2\.Be HER\-2/neu negative, or, if HER2/neu positive, must have previously received treatment with trastuzumab (Note: If HER2/neu status was previously determined, that result is acceptable but documentation of status must be available; subjects with unknown status will have their HER2/neu status determined locally. Documentation of previous treatment with trastuzumab must also be provided.)
•For potential subjects in Cohorts 2 or 3 (1L cohorts):
•3\.Is HER2/neu negative
•4\.Has not received prior systemic anti\-cancer therapy for their metastatic or advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. For the purposes of this study, perioperative, neoadjuvant, adjuvant chemotherapy regimens will not count as a prior regimen, unless disease progression has occurred during or within 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy.
•For all potential subjects:
•5\.Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial. The subject may also provide consent for Future Biomedical Research. However, the subject may participate in the main trial without participating in Future Biomedical Research.
•6\.Be \=18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
•7\.Have histologically or cytologically\-confirmed recurrent or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that is considered incurable by local therapies.

Exclusion Criteria

•1\. Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigation device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment.
•2\. Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
•3\. Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. The use of physiologic doses of corticosteroids may be approved after consultation with the Sponsor.
•4\. Has had a prior anti\-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., \= Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
•5\. Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., \= Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent.
•6\. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer.
•7\. Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability.
•8\. Has known history of, or any evidence of active, non\-infectious pneumonitis.
•9\. Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
•10\. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject’s participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
