Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pathological Complete Regression (pCR) RateCompletion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (up to approximately 16 months)

pCR is defined as no evidence of vital residual tumor cells on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the complete resected gastric/GEJ specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST), which will be reviewed by local pathologist..

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Event-free Survival (EFS)Randomization to the first documented disease recurrence, unequivocal tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 52 months)

Event-free survival (EFS), defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease recurrence, unequivocal tumor progression determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Disease-Free Survival (DFS)Surgery to first documented disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 52 months)

Disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the time from surgery to the first documented disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Overall Survival (OS)Randomiation to death from any cause (up to approximately 52 months)

Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause in all patients.

Major Pathologic Response (MPR)Randomization up to approximately 16 months

Major pathologic response (MPR), defined as \< 10% residual tumor per tumor bed based on evaluation of the resected primary esophagogastric specimen by a local pathologist.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)Randomiation to CR or PR during neoadjuvant systemic therapy (up to approximately 16 months)

Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) during NAST, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.

R0 Resection RateSurgery

R0 resection rate, defined as the proportion of patients with a microscopically margin-negative resection, in which no gross or microscopic tumor remains in the primary tumor bed and/or sampled regional lymph nodes based on evaluation by the local pathologist.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse EventsBaseline through the end of study (approximately 52 months)
