简要总结
The study will compare the efficacy and safety of treatment with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) versus paclitaxel in Asian, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive participants with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma who have progressed after failure of any combination chemotherapy containing a platinum and a fluoropyrimidine agent.
The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab prolongs Overall Survival (OS) compared to paclitaxel and that pembrolizumab prolongs Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) assessed by blinded central radiologists' review compared to paclitaxel.
详细描述
Once the participant has achieved the study objective or the study has ended, the participant will be discontinued from the study and may be enrolled in an extension study to continue protocol-defined assessments and treatment. Enrollment in the extension study will be conditional on participant consent. Treatment with pembrolizumab or paclitaxel will continue until documented disease progression, unacceptable adverse event(s), intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, investigator's decision to discontinue the participant, participant withdraws consent, pregnancy of the participant, participant receives 35 administrations (approximately 2 years) of pembrolizumab, or administrative reasons requiring cessation of treatment.

- •Has a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Scale within 3 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- •Has experienced documented objective radiographic or clinical disease progression during or after first-line therapy containing any platinum/fluoropyrimidine doublet.
- •Is willing to provide tissue for PD-L1 biomarker analysis.
- •Has PD-L1 positive tumor (based on analysis of sample provided to core lab).
- •Female participants of childbearing potential must be willing to use 2 methods of birth control or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of study treatment for the pembrolizumab arm and through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment for the paclitaxel arm.
- •Male participants should agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study treatment for the pembrolizumab arm and through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment for the paclitaxel arm.
- •Demonstrates adequate organ function.
排除标准
- •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 trial treatment.
- •Has squamous cell or undifferentiated gastric cancer.
- •Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years.
- •Has had a prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at Baseline) from AEs due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
- •Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, radiation therapy, or any other agents used as systemic treatment for cancer, within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment or who has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at Baseline) from AEs due to a previously administered agent.
- •Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 5 years. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy.

- •Has known active Hepatitis B or C virus infection.
- •Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study treatment.
- •Has known allergy or hypersensitivity to paclitaxel or any components used in the paclitaxel preparation or other contraindication for taxane therapy.
研究组 & 干预措施
Pembrolizumab 200 mg
Participants receive pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to 35 cycles (up to approximately 2 years).
干预措施: Pembrolizumab (Biological)
Paclitaxel 80 mg/m^2
Participants receive paclitaxel 80 mg/m^2 IV infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 4-week cycle for up to approximately 2 years.
干预措施: Paclitaxel (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Overall Survival (OS)
时间窗: Up to approximately 50 months
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up.
Progression-free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
时间窗: Up to approximately 50 months
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression. PFS as assessed by blinded independent central review will be presented.
次要结局
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST 1.1(Up to approximately 50 months)
- Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)(Up to approximately 50 months)
- Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE(Up to approximately 25 months)
