Treatment and study plan

Phase I part

Biological

Administration of GAIA-102 as a monotherapy or GAIA-102 and pembrolizumab in combination.

Phase II part

Biological

Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either GAIA-102 monotherapy or GAIA-102 in combination with pembrolizumab at the recommended dosing regimen confirmed in the Phase I part, or to receive standard therapy.

For patients with gastric cancer, the standard therapy group will receive trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (FTD/TPI) only.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) with GAIA-102 (Phase I)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 (Cycle period is 28 days)

    DLT was evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 and is defided following events: 1. Grade 4 hemotoxicity or hemotoxicity requiring blood transfusion. 2. Grade 3 or higher non-hematoxicity

    Time frame: 2 year

  3. Overall survival period in patients with gastric cancer (Phase II)

    Time frame: up to 4 years

  4. One-year survival rate in patients with pancreatic cancer (PhaseⅡ)

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) and Disease Control Rate (DCR)(Phase I)

    Time frame: 2 year

  3. Overall Survival Period(Phase I)

    Time frame: 2 year

  4. Pharmacokinetics of GAIA-102(Phase I)

    Time frame: pre-dose

    The following metrics were meassured as pharmcokinetics; Cmax: The peak plasma concentration of a drug after administration.; tmax. : Time to reach Cmax; Cmin: The lowest (trough) concentration that a drug reaches before the next dose is administered.

  5. Biomarker of GAIA-102(Phase I)

    Time frame: pre-dose

    Protein expression levels are measured in ascites and blood as biomarkers. The following are the markers to be measured; CCL3/CCL4/CCL5/CCL20/CXCL9/CXCL10/CXCL11

  6. Objective Response Rate Disease Control Rate(Phase II)

    Time frame: up to 4 years

  7. Progression-free Survival (Phase II)

    Time frame: up to 4 years

  8. Objective Response Period and Period until Objective Response (Phase II)

    Time frame: up to 4 years

  9. One-year survival rate in patients with gastric cancer (Phase II)

    Time frame: 1 year

  10. Overall survival period in patients with pancreatic cancer (Phase II)
