Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2)
Up to approximately 5 years

PFS is defined as time from randomisation until progression per RECIST 1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Overall Survival (OS) (Cohort 1)
Up to approximately 5 years

OS is defined as the time from randomisation until the date of death due to any cause.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) in all randomized participants
From date of first dose/randomisation until disease progression or death in the absence of progression (approximately 3 years).

The analysis will include all randomized participants. All events will be included, regardless of whether the participant withdraws from therapy or receives another anticancer therapy.

Overall Survival (OS) for 3L+ participants
From date of first dose/randomisation until the date of death due to any cause (approximately 3 years).

The analysis will include all randomized participants who had at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy. All deaths will be included, regardless of whether the participant withdraws from therapy or receives another anticancer therapy.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
At month 6 after date of first dose

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed CR or confirmed PR, as determined by the investigator per RECIST 1.1 to all dosed participants

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

To assess the safety and tolerability of perioperative treatment.

Percentage of participants with pathological complete response (pCR)
Until sub-study completion, up to 38 months

pCR is defined as no viable cancer cells, including lymph nodes after complete evaluation in the resected gastric, GEJ, or esophageal cancer specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes following neoadjuvant treatment.

Incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs). Changes from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECGs and physical examination. Rate of AEs leading to discontinuation of AZD0901, Occurrence of DLTs.
30 days post treatment completion. AE Follow Up for 90 days post AZD0901 discontinuation.

To investigate the safety and tolerability, of AZD0901 monotherapy or in combination with anti-cancer agents in particpants with advanced or metastatic solid tumours expressing CLDN18.2.

Objective Response Rate (ORR).
From date of first dose of AZD0901 up until progression, or the last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression (approximately 2 years).

Frequently asked questions about AZD0901

What is AZD0901 used for?

AZD0901 is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate being studied for gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that express the biomarker Claudin18.2. It is also being evaluated in other advanced solid tumors expressing Claudin18.2, including biliary tract cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What does AZD0901 target?

AZD0901 targets Claudin18.2, a tight junction protein expressed on gastric and gastroesophageal junction tumor cells. As an antibody-drug conjugate, it uses an antibody to bind Claudin18.2 and deliver a cytotoxic payload to those cells. Trials select patients whose tumors express Claudin18.2.

Who is developing AZD0901?

AZD0901 is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca sponsors the clinical program evaluating the antibody-drug conjugate in Claudin18.2-expressing gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers and other solid tumors.

What phase is AZD0901 in?

AZD0901 is in Phase 3 development. The Phase 3 trial NCT06346392 compares AZD0901 with investigator's choice of therapy in second- or later-line advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma expressing Claudin18.2. Two additional Phase 2 trials are also ongoing. AZD0901 is investigational and has not been approved.

What clinical trials is AZD0901 in?

AZD0901 is being studied in three active trials. NCT06346392 is a Phase 3 trial in second- or later-line gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. NCT07143604 is a Phase 2 monotherapy trial in 2L+ gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma. NCT06219941 is a Phase 2 trial in advanced solid tumors expressing Claudin18.2.
