Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Received prior therapy with ramucirumab at any time
  • Received paclitaxel or docetaxel-based therapy within 6 month of study enrollment
  • Had a prior grade \>3 immune related adverse event due to anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or anti-CTLA4 therapy at any time
  • Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receipt of systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days before the first dose of trial treatment. Replacement therapy (ie physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic immunosuppressive therapy and is allowed.
  • Received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy

Other illness

  • History of gastrointestinal perforation or fistulae
  • A known history of active Bacillus tuberculosis
  • History of or any evidence of active, non-infectious, immune-mediated pneumonitis. Patients with radiation-induced pneumonitis who are asymptomatic are permitted on study.
  • A known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV 1/2 antibodies)
  • Known active hepatitis B (e.g., HBsAg reactive) or hepatitis C (e.g., HCV RNA \[qualitative\] is detected). Patients with HBsAg reactive on entecavir may be eligible after consultation with hepatologist and study team.
  • Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial

Other

  • Known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
  • Peripheral neuropathy limiting ADLs
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the prescreening or screening visit through 5 months after the last dose of trial treatment
  • Unwilling to give written, informed consent, unwilling to participate, or unable to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study

Who the study is looking for

  • Metastatic or advanced unresectable adenocarcinoma of esophageal, gastric, or gastroesophageal junction
  • Disease progression on one prior line of therapy for metastatic disease. Patients with previously untreated advanced unresectable or metastatic disease may be included if disease progressed or recurred during neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy or within 6 months of completion of those treatments.
  • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed esophageal, gastric, or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma
  • Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease as defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria. Patients with evaluable disease must be eligible to begin with an induction cycle
  • Age 18 years or older
  • ECOG performance status 0 to 1
  • Adequate organ function as defined in Table 2
    • Table 2. Organ function requirements for eligibility Hematological Absolute neutrophil count: ≥1000/mcL Platelets: ≥90,000/mcL Hemoglobin: ≥8 g/dL Renal Serum creatinine: ≤1.5X ULN Hepatic Serum total bilirubin: ≤1.5X ULN OR Direct bilirubin ≤ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \>1.5X ULN, except patients with Gilbert's disease (≤3X ULN) AST and ALT: ≤2.5X ULN Albumin: ≥3 mg/dL
