You may qualify if…

• Patients eligible for inclusion in this study have to meet all of the following criteria:
• Written informed consent obtained prior to any screening procedures
• Patients with documented cytological or histological confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma and proven HER2 positive.
• Patients with progressive disease (radiological confirmation required according to RECIST) after first line of trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer.
• Age ≥ 18 years or age of consent in country of residence and able to sign Informed Consent
• ECOG performance status of 0-1 at study entry
• HER2-overexpressing positive gastric tumor by IHC3+ or IHC2+ with positive in situ hybridization
• Measurable disease according to RECIST (Irradiated lesions can not be considered measurable unless they have clearly progressed since radiotherapy).
• Negative serum pregnancy test. The serum pregnancy test must be obtained prior to any drug administration (≤ 72 hours prior to dosing) in all pre-menopausal women and for women < 2 years after the onset of menopause.
• Patients must have the following laboratory values:
• Hematologic
• Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1.5x109/L,
• Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL,
• Platelets (plt) ≥100x109/L
• Biochemistry:
• Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
• Serum albumin > 2.5 g/dl
• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or 24-hour clearance ≥ 50 ml/min.
• AST/SGOT and ALT/SGPT ≤ 2.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) or ≤ 5.0 x ULN if liver metastases are present

You may not qualify if…

• Patients eligible for this study must not meet any of the following criteria:
• Evidence of spinal cord compression or current evidence of CNS metastases. CT/MRI of the brain is mandatory (within 3 weeks before study start) in case of clinical suspicion or evidence of brain metastases
• Patient who are < 4 weeks since last chemotherapy or treatment with another systemic anti-cancer agent. Patients must have recovered (CTC ≤ 1) from acute toxicities of any previous therapy (with the exception of alopecia).
• Patients may have received prior radiotherapy for management of local disease providing that disease progression has been documented, all toxicities have resolved (CTC ≤ 1) (with the exception of alopecia), and the last fraction of radiotherapy was completed at least 4 weeks prior to the study.
• Prior treatment with an agent that acts via HER2/c-erbB2 targeting other than 1st line trastuzumab, include (but are not limited to) lapatinib and pertuzumab.
• Treatment with therapeutic doses of coumarin-type anticoagulants. (Maximum daily dose of 2 mg, for line patency permitted)
• Patients with malignant ascites that require invasive treatment
• Patients with acute or chronic renal disease; and active and chronic liver disease requiring intervention. Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol.
• Major surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to enrollment or who have not recovered from such therapy
• Impaired cardiac function
• Concurrent malignancies or invasive cancers diagnosed within the past 5 years, except for adequately treated basal cell cancer of the skin or in situ cancer of the cervix
• Patients receiving chronic or high dose corticosteroids therapy (Inhaled steroids and short courses of oral steroids for anti-emesis or as an appetite stimulant are allowed)
• Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol
• Patients known to be HIV positive. Testing is not required in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms suggesting HIV infection.
• Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or their excipients
• Participation in another clinical study within 30 days before first study treatment
• Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test (> 5 mIU/mL).
• Fertile women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) not using adequate contraception (abstinence, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device or barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly or surgically sterile).
