Sacituzumab Tirumotecan: 3 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg IV Infusion

Rescue Medications: Participants receive rescue medications according to each approved drug's product label. Recommended rescue medications for the Sacituzumab Tirumotecan + Paclitaxel arm include antihistamines (histamine-1 and histamine-2 receptor antagonists), acetaminophen or equivalent, dexamethasone or equivalent infusion, and steroid mouth wash (dexamethasone or equivalent) and rescue medications for the HER3-DXd + ramucirumab arm include 5-HT3-receptor antagonist, NK-1 receptor antagonist, and corticosteroids.

Study summary

This is a phase 1/2 multicenter, open-label umbrella platform study that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) plus paclitaxel versus ramucirumab plus paclitaxel, and HER3-DXD plus ramucirumab versus ramucirumab plus paclitaxel for the treatment of participants with advanced or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma, gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, or esophageal adenocarcinoma who have failed 1 prior line of therapy. This is an estimation study, and no formal hypothesis testing will be performed.
