Personalized Antibodies For Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (Pangea): A Phase Ii Precision Medicine Trial (Nct02213289).

TPS198Background: Targeted therapies (tx) in GEA have had limited efficacy despite recognition of numerous ‘targetable’ molecular events. This may be due to the molecular heterogeneity (MH) that exists between patients (pts), within the primary tumor (PT), between PT and synchronous metastatic lesions (MLs), and in lesions over time. Current biomarker profiling (BP) is performed on one site, usually the PT, yet this fails to capture the MH of GEA, with likely major clinical implications. Classic trial designs are challenged by MH, low frequency oncogenic drivers, and scarcity of tissue. There is need for novel trial designs and BP technologies that address these concerns, provide tx algorithms for pts with multiple aberrations, and have access to several txs. Methods: This phase IIa, open-label, non-randomized ‘platform trial’ enrolls pts with newly diagnosed metastatic GEA or recurrent disease after curative-intent surgery. Baseline tumor BP is performed on PT/ML along with circulating free (cf)DNA. Pts ...
