Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (botensilimab and balstilimab) can help people with advanced stomach cancer live longer compared to standard treatment. The study includes 132 adults whose tumors have a specific genetic marker (MSI-H/dMMR). Participants will receive either the new drug combo or standard chemo plus another immunotherapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
botensilimab and balstilimab (immunotherapy drugs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced stomach cancer that has specific genetic features.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial with only 132 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Immunotherapy can cause serious side effects like inflammation of organs.

This tumor sample must meet the following quality/quantity control criteria: ≥30 % of tumor cells and a tumor surface area ≥ 5mm2 or biopsiable disease (see next inclusion criteria). * Tumor lesion visible by medical imaging and accessible to repeatable percutaneous or endoscopic sampling that permits core needle biopsy without unacceptable risk of a significant procedural complications, and suitable for retrieval of a minimum of 4 cores with a needle minimum diameter :16-gauge. * Note 1: Fine needle aspirates, bone biopsies do not satisfy the requirement for tumor tissue. * Note 2: Tumor lesions used for biopsy should not be lesions used as RECIST 1.1 target lesions unless there are no other lesions suitable for biopsy. If a RECIST target lesion is used for biopsy, the lesion must be ≥ 2 cm in longest diameter. * Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at the Screening Visit (within 72 hours of first dose of study drugs) and must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures starting with the Screening Visit through * 9 months after the end of the treatment with oxaliplatin * 6 months after the end of the treatment with fluorouracil * 5 months after the end of the treatment with nivolumab or botensilimab or Balstilimab * 6 months for capecitabine * Highly effective contraception is defined in Appendix 03. Note Non-childbearing potential is defined as: 1. ≥ 50 years of age and has not had menses for greater than 1 year. 2. Amenorrheic for ≥ 2 years without a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy and a follicle-stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon pre-study (screening) evaluation. 3. Status is post-hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation. * Male patients with a female partner(s) of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures throughout the study starting with the screening visit through 6 months after the end of the treatment with oxaliplatine or 3 months after the last dose for other study treatments is received. Males with pregnant partners must agree to use a condom; no additional method of contraception is required for the pregnant partner. * Patient should understand, sign, and date the written voluntary informed consent form prior to any protocol-specific procedures performed and should be able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures as per protocol. * Patients must be covered by a medical insurance. Exclusion Criteria: * Oesogastric cancer eligible to treatment with curative intent * Patients previously treated by anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA-4 or any other immunotherapy * Patients with surgery or radiotherapy within less than 4 weeks before C1D1 * Patients with persistent AE Grade \>1 related to previous anti-cancer treatment, except alopecia (all grades), laboratory value according to criteria I7. * Patients with: hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia less than normal * Patients with known prolongation QT/QTc interval i.e. QT/QTc interval longer than 450 msec for men and longer than 470 msec for women according to the inclusion ECG. * Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

Anticonvulsant therapy at a stable dose is permitted. A minimal wash-out period of 10days for corticosteroids is required. * Patients with other malignancy unless this malignancy is not expected to interfere with the evaluation of study endpoints (basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in-situ carcinoma of the cervix, localized prostate cancer), or with no evidence of disease for ≥ 2 years. * Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the study drug excipients. * of ILD or non-infectious pneumonitis requiring glucocorticoids. * History of allogeneic organ transplant. * Psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study. * Patient with peripheral sensory neuropathy with functional impairment. * Patients with clinically significant active heart disease or myocardial infarction within 6 months, history of uncontrolled or symptomatic cardiac disease. * Patient with recent (within 7d before C1D1) or concomitant treatment with brivudine. * Patient with complete absence of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) activity (blood uracil level ≥ 150 ng/mL) or partial deficit in DPD (i.e. blood uracil level between ≥ 16 ng/ml and \< 150 ng/mL) * Patients with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) within 14 days or another immunosuppressive medication within 30 days of the first dose of study treatment. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses (≤ 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease. * Patient with Live vaccines injection within 4 weeks before C1D1.
