Substudy 06C: A Study of Investigational Agents With Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and Chemotherapy in Participants With First-Line Locally Advanced Unresectable/Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma (MK-3475-06C/KEYMAKER-U06)

Is NCT06469944 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 1/2 trial studies multiple treatments for gastroesophageal junction.

Phase 1/2RecruitingMerck Sharp & Dohme LLCNCT06469944Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Pembrolizumab · Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (sac-TMT) · Capecitabine · Leucovorin · Levoleucovorin · 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) · Oxaliplatin · Patritumab DeruxtecanThis is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label umbrella platform study that will evaluate the safety and tolerability of investigational agents with pembrolizumab and fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy for the first-line (1L) treatment of participants with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or esophageal adenocarcinoma. This substudy will have two phases: a safety lead-in phase and an efficacy phase. The safety lead-in phase will be used to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for investigational agents in combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. There is no formal hypothesis in this study.
