A Phase I-II Study of HM781-36B Combined With Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in HER-2 Positive Advanced Gastric Cancer

Besides the main objectives, there are other objectives as follows:

[Phase I]

• To assess the pharmacokinetic profile of HM781-36B(Poziotinib) combined with Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab
• To evaluate anticancer activity of HM781-36B(Poziotinib) combined with Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in patients with HER-2 positive advanced gastric cancer
• To evaluate PFS(Progression-Free Survival), TTP (Time To Tumor Progression), and DOR (Duration of Overall Response)

[Phase II]

• To assess the safety, tolerability of HM781-36B(Poziotinib) combined with Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab
• To evaluate tumor response through determination of disease control rate , PFS(Progression-Free Survival), TTP (Time To Tumor Progression), and DOR (Duration of Overall Response)
