Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with untreated, locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other malignant tumors within the last two years or those who have shown disease progression after prior treatments may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase Ⅲ clinical study evaluates the efficacy and safety of HLX22 in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy for patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the experimental treatment or a placebo alongside standard chemotherapy. The treatment will continue until there is a loss of clinical benefit, intolerable toxicity, or other specified reasons. The study aims to determine if the combination therapy can improve patient outcomes compared to the control group.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of monoclonal antibodies and chemotherapy in treating HER2-positive cancers.
