Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of MRG003 in patients with EGFR-positive, HER2-negative, inoperable locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer.

Description:

Approximately 6054 patients will be enrolled to evaluate the safety and preliminarily efficacy of MRG003. Patients will receive 2.0 mg/kg dose of MRG003 intravenously every 3 weeks (Q3W) and may receive up to 24 months of MRG003 if there is evidence of clinical benefit to the patients.
