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.

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.

Secondary Endpoints
