Background: Gastric/gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer represents a global healthcare challenge. With more than 1 million new cases estimated in 2020, it ranked fifth among all cancers. HER2 amplification or overexpression were reported in around 20% of advanced G/GEJ cancer cases. Despite the improved overall survival with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy, the prognosis remains unsatisfactory, and thus more effective treatments are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the combination of HLX22 (a novel anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody), HLX02 (a trastuzumab biosimilar), and chemotherapy for patients with G/GEJ cancer in the first-line setting. Methods: The study was unblinded 3 months after the last patient was enrolled. Patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer and had not received prior systemic antitumor therapy were enrolled. The study consisted of 2 parts; current report will focus on part 1. In part 1, patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive HLX22 25 mg/kg + HLX02 + XELOX (group A), HLX22 15 mg/kg + HLX02 + XELOX (group B), or placebo + HLX02 + XELOX (group C) in 3-week cycles. Primary endpoints were PFS and ORR assessed by IRRC per RECIST v1.1. Secondary endpoints included other efficacy measures and safety. Results: As of July 30, 2023 (data cutoff), 53 patients were randomized to group A (n=18), B (n=17), and C (n=18), and were followed up for a median of 14.3 months. 44 (83.0%) patients were male. Main efficacy results are presented in Table. Tumor assessments reported in Table were performed by IRRC. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 18 (100.0%), 16 (94.1%), and 17 (94.4%) patients in the respective groups. Serious TRAEs were observed in 5 (27.8%) patients in group A, 1 (5.9%) in group B, and 1 (5.6%) in group C. Only 1 (5.6%) patient in group C had a grade 5 TRAE. Conclusions: Adding HLX22 to HLX02 + XELOX improved survival and antitumor response in patients with HER2-positive G/GEJ cancer in the first-line setting, with a manageable safety profile. Clinical trial information: NCT04908813.
