ATTRACTION-4

Study of ONO-4538 in Gastric Cancer

Phase 2/3N = 724NCT02746796

Population
Asian patients aged 20 years and older with previously untreated HER2-negative unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer, regardless of PD-L1 expression.
Design
Randomised multicentre double-blind placebo-controlled phase 2-3 trial at 130 centres in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to nivolumab 360 mg or placebo every 3 weeks with oxaliplatin plus S-1 (SOX) or oxaliplatin plus capecitabine (CAPOX); stratified by PD-L1 expression, ECOG performance status, disease status and region. Primary endpoints: centrally assessed progression-free survival and overall survival in the ITT population. 724 patients were randomised (registry lists 680 as an estimated enrolment).
Primary endpoint
PFS, OS
Arms
  • Placebo plus chemotherapy (control, n = 362): Placebo with SOX or CAPOX
  • Nivolumab plus chemotherapy (experimental, n = 362): Nivolumab 360 mg every 3 weeks with SOX or CAPOX
