About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess if circulating tumor DNA, as assessed by Signatera tumor-informed MRD assay, can guide de-escalation of adjuvant therapy in patients with resectable Stage II-IVa Gastric/Gastric-Esophageal Cancer. The main question it aims to answer is:

• To demonstrate if 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) among participants with resectable clinical Stage II-IVa gastric/gastro-esophageal cancer who received neoadjuvant D-FLOT and are ctDNA negative after curative intent R0 surgery receiving adjuvant durvalumab monotherapy is non-inferior to standard of care D-FLOT.

Researchers will compare post-operative ctDNA negative participants who are receiving adjuvant durvalumab monotherapy to those who receive standard of care (D-FLOT) to see if they have similar outcomes.

Participants will be asked to:

* Receive serial ctDNA testing * Visit their study doctor per their standard of care visits about every 3 months for first 2 years and then every 6 months for an additional 3 years * Answer 5 questionnaires about their well-being

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed and dated informed consent form (ICF) obtained prior to any trial-specific enrollment procedure.

Age is ≥ 18 years-old at the time of ICF signature.

Able to submit adequate archival tumor tissue (eg, 6 to 10 unstained slides at 10 microns (μm) each or 12-19 unstained slides at 5-microns (μm) plus one hematoxylin and eosin slide (see study lab manual) obtained per standard of care procedures for submission to a central laboratory for Signatera testing OR prior commercial Signatera Genome test results.

Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the stomach, esophagus and/or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), resectable clinical Stage II-IVa per AJCC 9th edition.

Disqualifiers

Histologic presence of adenosquamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, or neuroendocrine tumors.

Radiographic evidence of unresectable metastatic disease (ie, IVb).

Presence of peritoneal dissemination.

Any prior therapy (eg, radiation, chemoradiation, chemotherapy) for gastric or gastroesophageal cancer other than neoadjuvant D-FLOT and R0 curative intent surgery.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Signatera Genome ultra-sensitive ctDNA blood test

    Device

    Signatera Genome is intended for use as a post-surgical risk stratification tool for patients with resectable clinical Stage II-IVa gastric/gastro-esophageal cancer who are ctDNA negative after R0 curative intent surgery. The test is used to identify patients with no evidence of MRD following definitive surgery.

Treatment groups

1,000 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: ctDNA Guided (Durvalumab monotherapy for 1 year)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: SOC (Durvalumab for 1 year plus four 2 week cycles of FLOT starting C1D1)Active comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Disease Free Survival (DFS)

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate if disease free survival (DFS) among patients with resectable clinical stage II-IVa gastric/gastro-esophageal cancer who are ctDNA-negative after surgery undergoing ctDNA-guided observation is non-inferior to adjuvant D-FLOT.

Time frame
2 years from randomization to the first occurrence of disease recurrence or death from any cause, whichever occurs first

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall Survival (OS)

Comparison of overall survival (OS) among Arm A (SOC) and Arm B (ctDNA guided) patients and assess whether adjuvant durvalumab monotherapy is non-inferior to standard of care adjuvant D-FLOT

Time frame
From randomization to Year 3 and randomization to Year 5
2

Molecular Recurrence

Compare Arm A(SOC) relative to Arm B (ctDNA guided) time from surgery (or first ctDNA negative assessment) to the detection of ctDNA positivity by the Signatera assay.

Time frame
From time of surgery up to 3 years
3

Metastasis-Free Survival (MFS)

To compare Arm A (SOC) relative to Arm B (ctDNA guided) on metastasis-free survival (MFS).

Time frame
From randomization at Year 2, Year 3, and Year 5
4

Disease-Specific Survival (DFS)

To compare Arm A (SOC) relative to Arm B (ctDNA guided) on disease-specific survival (DFS).

Time frame
From randomization at Year 2, Year 3, and Year 5

Other outcomes

1

Assess ctDNA Clearance Arm B (ctDNA Guided)

Assess ctDNA clearance patterns in participants who receive adjuvant FLOT only after molecular recurrence in Arm B (ctDNA guided).

Time frame
From randomization to 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years
2

Assess ctDNA Clearance in Arm A (SOC)

Assess ctDNA clearance during and after adjuvant D-FLOT therapy in ctDNA positive cohort of Arm A (SOC).

Time frame
From randomization to 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years
