Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Written and signed informed consent
  • Age ≥ 18 years but ≤ 75 years
  • ECOG of 0 or 1.
  • Estimated life expectancy of ≥3 months.
  • Histologically or cytologically documented advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.
  • At least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1.
  • Gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma with failure of first-line treatment with anti-PD-1/L1 and chemotherapy
  • Adequate organ function.
  • Have agreed to take effective contraception from the date of signing the informed consent form until 120 days after the last administration.

Exclusion criteria

  • Other invasive malignancies within 3 years, except for locally treatable (manifested as cured) malignancies, such as basal or skin squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer, cervical or breast carcinoma in situ.
  • Any previous systemic therapy targeting VEGF or anti-VEGFR signaling pathways.
  • In addition to PD1 or PD-L1,Prior exposure to anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug therapy for T cell co-stimulatory or checkpoint pathways, such as ICOS or agonists (e.g. CD40, CD137, GITR and OX40 etc).
  • Known history of primary immunodeficiency virus infection.
  • Known history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • Known history of interstitial lung disease.
  • Known history of active tuberculosis (TB).
  • Central nervous system (CNS) metastasis, meningeal metastasis, spinal cord compression, or leptomeningeal disease.
  • Patients with untreated chronic hepatitis B or HBV DNA exceeding 500IU/mL or active hepatitis C should be excluded. Patients with HCV antibody positive are eligible to participate in the study if the results of HCV RNA test show negative.
  • Known history of testing positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage.
  • Subjects with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease, or a medical history of autoimmune disease, with the exceptions of the following: vitiligo, alopecia, Grave disease, psoriasis or eczema not requiring systemic treatment within the last 2 years, hypothyroidism (caused by autoimmune thyroiditis) only requiring steady doses of hormone replacement therapy and type I diabetes only requiring steady doses of insulin replacement therapy, or completely relieved childhood asthma that requires no intervention in adulthood, or primary diseases that will not relapse unless triggered by external factors.
  • Pregnant or lactating women.

Treatment and study plan

AK109

Biological

Subjects will receive AK109 by intravenous administration.

paclitaxel

Drug

Subjects will receive AK109 in combination with paclitaxel.

AK104

Biological

Subjects will receive AK104 by intravenous administration.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of subjects experiencing dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)

    Time frame: During the first 4 weeks

    DLTs will be assessed during the first 28 days of treatment and are defined as toxicities that meet pre-defined severity criteria, and assessed as having a suspected relationship to study drug, and unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications .

  2. Adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: up to 2 years

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.

  3. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: up to 2 years

    The ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR or PR, based on RECIST Version 1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of first dosing till the first documentation of disease progression (per RECIST v1.1) or death from any cause (whichever occurs first)

  2. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD, based on RECIST v1.1

  3. Duration of response (DoR)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Duration of response is defined as the duration from the first documentation of objective response to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Time frame: up to 2 years

    OS defined as the time from the first dose to death from any cause. Subjects who do not die at the end of the extended follow-up period, or were lost to follow-up during the study, were censored at the last date they were known to be alive.

  5. Observed pharmacokinetics (PK) exposure of AK109 and AK104

    Time frame: From first dose of AK109 and AK104 through 90 days after last dose of AK109 and AK104

    The endpoints for assessment of PK of AK109 and AK104 include serum concentrations of AK109 and AK104 at different timepoints after AK109 and AK104 administration.

  6. Number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)

    Time frame: From first dose of AK109 and AK104 through 90 days after last dose of AK109 and AK104

    The immunogenicity of AK104 and AK109 will be assessed by summarizing the number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)
