  • Objective

    The main objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of bemarituzumab plus 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) and nivolumab.

    The main objective Part 2 is to compare efficacy of bemarituzumab plus mFOLFOX6 and nivolumab to placebo plus mFOLFOX6 and nivolumab as assessed by overall survival.

  • Key Eligibility

    Inclusion Criteria Part 1:

    Adult with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic (not amenable to curative therapy) histologically documented gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma
    Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1
    Measurable disease or non-measurable, but evaluable disease, according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
    Participant must be a candidate to receive mFOLFOX6 and nivolumab
    Adequate organ function as follows:

    Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
    Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L
    Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl
    Aspartate aminotransaminase (AST) and Alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) <3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (or < 5 x ULN if liver involvement). Total bilirubin <1.5 x ULN (or < 2 x ULN if liver involvement); with the exception of participants with Gilbert's disease)
    Calculated or measured creatinine clearance (CrCl) of ≥ 50 mL/minute calculated using the formula of Cockcroft and Gault
    International Normalized Ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) < 1.5 × ULN except for participants receiving anticoagulation, who must be on a stable dose of anticoagulant therapy for 6 weeks prior to enrollment.
    Additional Inclusion Criteria Part 2:

    No prior treatment for metastatic or unresectable disease except for a maximum of 1 dose of mFOLFOX6 with or without nivolumab. Prior adjuvant or neo-adjuvant therapy for localized disease is allowed, provided it has been completed more than 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment.
    Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) overexpression as determined by centrally performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing
