ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called IAH0968 when used alongside an existing chemotherapy regimen called CAPEOX in patients with advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer, which is a type of stomach cancer that expresses a specific protein known as HER2. The main goals of the trial are to evaluate how safe this new combination treatment is, how well it works, and to find the highest dose that patients can tolerate. The trial is currently recruiting participants who are between 18 and 75 years old and have not received prior systemic treatment for their cancer.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have advanced or metastatic gastric cancer that cannot be surgically removed, and their cancer must be confirmed to express HER2. Patients will receive the treatment and will be monitored for side effects and how their cancer responds. It's important to note that participants will need to agree to the trial's guidelines, including using effective contraception if they are of childbearing potential. This trial aims to provide valuable information that could improve treatment options for patients with this type of cancer.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • 1) Age 18\~75 years old (including critical mass), gender is not limited. 2) Phase II cohort 1 and III only: patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer (including adenocarcinoma of the gastro-esophageal junction) diagnosed by histopathology, unsuitable for radical surgical resection or localized treatment, and who have not received systemic antitumor therapy (including systemic chemotherapy, molecularly-targeted drug therapy, biologic therapy, and other investigational therapeutic agents) for GC (except for adjuvant chemotherapy for \>6 months), and who have demonstrated disease progression; and patients who have been diagnosed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). and demonstrated disease progression excepted); HER2 positivity (IHC 3+, or IHC 2+ and FISH +) demonstrated by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

• • ④ Coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 times ULN for prothrombinogen, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 times ULN, or INR and APTT ≤ 2.5 times ULN for patients with liver metastasis or hepatocellular carcinoma.
• • 9) Eligible patients (male and female) of childbearing potential must agree to use a reliable method of contraception (hormonal or barrier method or abstinence) with their partner for the duration of the trial and for at least 6 months after the last dose; female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
