DESTINY DS8201-A-U306  

About this trial

This phase III study will assess the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) compared with ramucirumab and paclitaxel (Ram + PTX) in participants with HER2-positive gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer who have progressed on or after a trastuzumab-containing treatment and have not received any additional systemic therapy. Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is a HER2 targeting antibody drug previously approved for use in HER2 positive breast cancers. While Ramucirumab and paclitaxel (Ram + PTX) is a second-line chemotherapy shown to improve survival of patients with advanced gastric or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) cancer. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either T-DXd or Ram + PTX treatment. This is an open label, multicentre study.
