Inclusion criteria

  • Histologically confirmed gastric cancer or adenocarcinoma of GEJ
  • HER2-positive status defined as either IHC score of 3+ or IHC 2+ with amplification proven by in situ hybridization (ISH) as assessed by local review based on pretreatment endoscopic biopsies.
  • Clinical stage at presentation: cT3/T4a/T4b, or N+, M0 as determined by AJCC staging system, 8th edition
  • Availability of pretreatment tumor specimen for biomarker analysis by central lab
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  • Life expectancy >= 12 weeks
  • Adequate hematologic and end-organ function
  • For female patients of childbearing potential, agreement (by patient) to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or to use highly effective form(s) of contraception during the treatment period and to continue its use for at least i) 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab, ii) 7 months after the last dose of trastuzumab, or iii) 6 months after the last dose of capecitabine or oxaliplatin, whichever is longer.
  • For men: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm

Exclusion criteria

  • Stage IV (metastatic) or unresectable gastric/GEJ cancer determined by investigators
  • Prior systemic therapy for treatment of gastric cancer
  • History of malignancy other than GC within 5 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death
  • Cardiopulmonary dysfunction
  • Dyspnea at rest
  • Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency with the following exceptions: (a) Patients with a history of autoimmune-mediated hypothyroidism who are on thyroid-replacement hormone are eligible for the study. (b) Patients with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study. (c) Patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only are eligible for the study provided allof following conditions are met: (i) Rash must cover < 10% of body surface area (ii) Disease is well controlled at baseline and requires only low-potency topical corticosteroids (iii) No occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high-potency or oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months
  • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan
  • Active tuberculosis
  • Patients with active hepatitis B
  • Patients with active hepatitis C

Treatment and study plan

Atezolizumab

Drug

Atezolizumab will be administered by IV infusion at a fixed dose of 1200 mg on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 3 cycles prior to surgery and 5 cycles after surgery.

Other names: Tecentriq

Trastuzumab

Drug

Trastuzumab will be administered as an 8 mg/kg IV loading dose and then 6 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle for 3 cycles before surgery, and administration will continue after surgery. The first administration of trastuzumab after surgery should also be given at the loading dose of 8 mg/kg.

Other names: Herceptin

Capecitabine

Drug

Capecitabine 1000 mg/m^2 will be administered twice orally on Days 1-14, repeated every 3 weeks.

Oxaliplatin

Drug

Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m^2 will be administered by IV on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pathological Complete Regression (pCR) Rate

    Time frame: Completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (up to approximately 16 months)

    pCR is defined as no evidence of vital residual tumor cells on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the complete resected gastric/GEJ specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NAST), which will be reviewed by local pathologist..

Secondary outcomes

  1. Event-free Survival (EFS)

    Time frame: Randomization to the first documented disease recurrence, unequivocal tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 52 months)

    Event-free survival (EFS), defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease recurrence, unequivocal tumor progression determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  2. Disease-Free Survival (DFS)

    Time frame: Surgery to first documented disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 52 months)

    Disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the time from surgery to the first documented disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Randomiation to death from any cause (up to approximately 52 months)

    Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause in all patients.

  4. Major Pathologic Response (MPR)

    Time frame: Randomization up to approximately 16 months

    Major pathologic response (MPR), defined as < 10% residual tumor per tumor bed based on evaluation of the resected primary esophagogastric specimen by a local pathologist.

  5. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Randomiation to CR or PR during neoadjuvant systemic therapy (up to approximately 16 months)

    Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) during NAST, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.

  6. R0 Resection Rate

    Time frame: Surgery

    R0 resection rate, defined as the proportion of patients with a microscopically margin-negative resection, in which no gross or microscopic tumor remains in the primary tumor bed and/or sampled regional lymph nodes based on evaluation by the local pathologist.

  7. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events

    Time frame: Baseline through the end of study (approximately 52 months)
