nivolumab plus SoC (n=473) vs. Standard of Care (SoC) (n=482)
randomized controlled trial
nivolumab plus chemotherapy
nivolumab (360 mg every3 weeks or 240 mg every 2 weeks) plus investigator’s choiceof chemotherapy (XELOX [capecitabine 1000 mg/m²twice a day, days 1–14 and oxaliplatin 130 mg/m², day 1,every 3 weeks] or FOLFOX [leucovorin 400 mg/m², day 1,fluorouracil 400 mg/m², day 1 and 1200 mg/m², days 1–2,and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m², day 1, every 2 weeks])
ICC (XELOX, FOLFOX)
investigator’s choiceof chemotherapy (XELOX [capecitabine 1000 mg/m²twice a day, days 1–14 and oxaliplatin 130 mg/m², day 1,every 3 weeks] or FOLFOX [leucovorin 400 mg/m², day 1,fluorouracil 400 mg/m², day 1 and 1200 mg/m², days 1–2,and oxaliplatin 85 mg/m², day 1, every 2 weeks])
mGC or mGEJC - L1 - HER2 neg/PDL1 positive
open label
175 hospitals, cancer centres in 29 countries across Asia, Australia, Europe, North/south America
P3/ two sided and one interim analysis (OS). For the dual primary endpoints, two-sided significancelevels (type I error) of 0·03 were allocated to OS and 0·02 to PFS. Hierarchically tested secondary endpoints were OS in patients with a PD-L1 CPS of one or more andall randomly assigned patients.
Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were improved with nivolumab and chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone as frontline treatment of patients with metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, or esophageal adenocarcinoma
