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

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)

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.

Frequently asked questions about Sonesitatug Vedotin

What is Sonesitatug Vedotin used for?

Sonesitatug Vedotin is an investigational antibody-drug conjugate being studied for gastric cancer and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, including gastroesophageal junction and esophageal adenocarcinoma. It is being evaluated in patients with advanced or metastatic disease whose tumors express Claudin18.2, and in locally advanced resectable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma in the perioperative setting.

Who is developing Sonesitatug Vedotin?

Sonesitatug Vedotin is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating the drug in gastric and gastroesophageal cancers.

What phase is Sonesitatug Vedotin in?

Sonesitatug Vedotin is in Phase 3 clinical development. The Phase 3 trial is currently recruiting participants, and the drug has not been approved by the FDA. It remains an investigational agent in clinical development for gastric cancer and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

What clinical trials is Sonesitatug Vedotin in?

Sonesitatug Vedotin is being evaluated in two recruiting clinical trials. The Phase 3 trial NCT07431281 is testing it in combination with capecitabine, with or without rilvegostomig, in advanced or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma expressing Claudin18.2, with planned enrollment of 2,130 participants. The Phase 2 trial NCT07069712 is studying novel agents or combinations as perioperative treatment in locally advanced resectable gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

How does Sonesitatug Vedotin work?

Sonesitatug Vedotin is an antibody-drug conjugate designed to target Claudin18.2, a protein expressed on certain gastric and gastroesophageal cancer cells. By binding to Claudin18.2, the conjugate delivers a cytotoxic payload to tumor cells. The Phase 3 trial enrolls patients whose tumors express Claudin18.2, reflecting this biomarker-selected mechanism.
