Study Notes

Zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 Trial

  • Study Type: Multicentre, randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial
  • Purpose: Investigated efficacy and safety of zolbetuximab (targets CLDN18.2) plus mFOLFOX6 (chemotherapy) versus placebo plus mFOLFOX6 in CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
  • Patient Eligibility: Aged 18 or older, CLDN18.2-positive (75% or more tumour cells showing moderate-to-strong CLDN18 staining), HER2-negative, previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic adenocarcinoma, radiologically evaluable disease (measurable or non-measurable), ECOG performance status 0 or 1, and adequate organ function.
  • Randomisation: 1:1 ratio, stratified by region, number of organs with metastases, and prior gastrectomy.

Study Findings

  • Participants: 565 patients, 283 in zolbetuximab group, 282 in placebo group.
  • Follow-up: Median 12.94 months (zolbetuximab) and 12.65 months (placebo).
  • Progression-Free Survival: Zolbetuximab significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.94; p=0.0066). Median progression-free survival: 10.61 months (zolbetuximab) vs 8.67 months (placebo).
  • Overall Survival: Zolbetuximab significantly reduced the risk of death (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.94; p=0.0053). Median overall survival: 18.23 months (zolbetuximab) vs. 15.54 months (placebo).
  • Adverse Events: Grade 3 or worse treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 242 (87%) of 279 patients in the zolbetuximab group versus 216 (78%) of 278 patients in the placebo group; most frequent were nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite. Treatment-related deaths: 5 (2%) in zolbetuximab group versus 4 (1%) in placebo group.

Interpretation

  • Zolbetuximab significantly prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival when combined with mFOLFOX6 compared to placebo plus mFOLFOX6.
  • Zolbetuximab might represent a new first-line treatment for CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
