Antitumor Activity Of Margetuximab (M) Plus Pembrolizumab (P) In Patients (Pts) With Advanced Her2+(Ihc3+) Gastric Carcinoma (Gc).

65Background: Trastuzumab (T) + chemo is standard first-line therapy (tx) for HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) pts, though progression ensues in 6-8 months. The approved second-line tx is ramucirumab +/- paclitaxel (R+PAC). Pts with GC are less responsive to R+PAC than gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) pts, in particular HER2+ GC, and no anti-HER2 agents are approved in post-T setting. We report results of combination M+P in HER2+ GC pts and describe a biological rationale for this population. M is an anti-HER2 mAb Fc optimized for enhanced binding to activating FcgRIIIa (CD16A) and decreased binding to inhibitory FcgRIIb (CD32B). M demonstrated an enhanced Fc-dependent MoA, including enhanced ADCC. Methods: HER2+, PD-L1-unselected, second-line GEA pts post T progression received M (15 mg/kg) + P (200 mg) Q3wk. Safety, objective response rate (ORR), median overall u0026 progression-free survival (mOS, mPFS), disease control rate (DCR), circulating tumor DNA, u0026 tumor PD-L1 expression were assessed. Re...
