A Phase Ib/II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IBI363 in Combination With Bevacizumab With or Without Nab-Paclitaxel as Second-Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer
A Phase Ib/II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of IBI363 in Combination With Bevacizumab With or Without Nab-Paclitaxel as Second-Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer
This study is for patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer whose disease has worsened after first-line systemic therapy. IBI363 is an investigational antibody that may help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. This trial will evaluate IBI363 in combination with bevacizumab, with or without nab-paclitaxel, as a second-line treatment.
The study has two parts. In the phase Ib part, small groups of patients will receive IBI363 plus bevacizumab with or without nab-paclitaxel to evaluate the safety, side effects, and tolerability of the combination and to determine an appropriate dose for further study. In the phase II part, additional patients will receive the selected regimen to assess the preliminary antitumor activity of IBI363 in combination with bevacizumab ± nab-paclitaxel, including tumor response and other clinical outcomes, as well as to further describe the safety profile. Treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or other reasons defined in the protocol.
