A Study to Investigate Tislelizumab Administered as Subcutaneous Injection Versus Intravenous Infusion Plus Chemotherapy in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

United States, Argentina, Austria351 participantsStarted 2025-08-27

Plain-language summary

This study is designed to assess the levels of drug exposure following treatment with tislelizumab administered as a subcutaneous (SC) injection compared to intravenous infusion (IV) as first-line therapy in adults with gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) that is locally advanced and cannot be surgically removed or has spread from the stomach to other areas of the body. Approximately 351 patients will be participating in this study. The study is composed of a screening period, a treatment period, and a follow-up period.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric/ gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. * No previous systemic therapy for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric/GEJ cancer. * At least 1 measurable or nonmeasurable lesion per RECIST v1.1 as determined by investigator assessment. * Must be able to provide tumor tissues for biomarker assessment. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score ≤ 1. * Adequate organ function. * Women of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the study and ≥ 120 days after the last dose of tislelizumab. * Non-sterile males must be willing to use a highly effective method of birth control for the duration of the study and for ≥ 120 days after the last dose of tislelizumab. Exclusion Criteria: * Squamous cell or undifferentiated or other histological type gastric cancer (GC) * Active leptomeningeal disease or uncontrolled brain metastasis. Patients with equivocal findings or with confirmed brain metastases are eligible for enrollment provided that they are asymptomatic and radiologically stable without the need for corticosteroid treatment for ≥ 4 weeks before randomization. * Diagnosis with gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma with positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). * Active autoimmune diseases or history of autoimmune diseases that may relapse. * Uncontrollable pleur…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
