A Study of Onartuzumab in Combination With mFOLFOX6 in Participants With Metastatic HER2-Negative and MET-Positive Gastroesophageal Cancer

This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with 5-fluorouracil, folinic Acid, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) in participants with metastatic human epidermal growth receptor (HER) 2-negative and MET-positive adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either onartuzumab or placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6. Participants may continue to receive onartuzumab or placebo until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant or physician decision to discontinue treatment.

  • Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities, apart from gastric cancer, including uncontrolled inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases
  • Significant history of cardiac disease
  • Significant vascular disease
  • Serious active infection at the time of randomization, or other serious underlying medical conditions that would impair the ability of the participant to receive protocol treatment
  • Infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C

  • Known sensitivity or contraindication to any component of study treatment
  • Active gastrointestinal bleeding

Treatment and study plan

5-fluoruracil

Drug

Participants will receive 5-fluorouracil 400 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) IV bolus and then 2400 mg/m^2 as a continuous IV infusion over 46-48 hours on Day 1 of every cycle until disease progression or at the maximum of 12 cycles, whichever occurs first.

Folinic acid

Drug

Participants will receive folinic acid 400 mg/m^2 IV infusion over 2 hours on Day 1 of every cycle until disease progression or at the maximum of 12 cycles, whichever occurs first.

Onartuzumab

Drug

Participants will receive onartuzumab 10 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 of every cycle (each cycle = 14 days) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant or physician decision to discontinue treatment.

Other names: MetMAb, RO5490258, PRO143966

Oxaliplatin

Drug

Participants will receive oxaliplatin 85 mg/m^2 IV infusion over 2 hours on Day 1 of every cycle until disease progression or at the maximum of 12 cycles, whichever occurs first.

Placebo

Drug

Participants will receive onartuzumab matching placebo on Day 1 of every cycle (each cycle = 14 days) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant or physician decision to discontinue treatment.
