A Phase 2 Study of Zolbetuximab (IMAB362) as Monotherapy or in Combination With mFOLFOX6 in Subjects With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Unresectable Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Adenocarcinoma Whose Tumors Have High or Intermediate Claudin (CLDN) 18.2 Expression

The purpose of this study is to determine the Objective Response Rate (ORR) of zolbetuzimab
as a single agent as assessed by an independent central reader. This study will also assess
the ORR and Progression Free Survival (PFS) of zolbetuximab in combination with mFOLFOX6,
assess the safety and tolerability, assess the effects on CLDN18.2 expression and assess the
immunogenicity and immunomodulatory effects of zolbetuximab as a single agent and in
combination with mFOLFOX6. This study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of
zolbetuximab, oxaliplatin and fluorouracil (5-FU), evaluate health-Related Quality of Life
(HRQoL), evaluate the Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), PFS and Overall
Survival (OS) of zolbetuximab as a single agent.

This is a study to assess the antitumor activity of zolbetuximab, an Immunoglobulin (IgG1)
chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against CLDN18.2, in subjects with recurrent locally
advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose tumors have
high or intermediate CLDN18.2 expression. For each cohort, the study consists of the
following periods: pre-screening; screening; treatment; and follow-up for disease
progression. In addition, there will be a survival follow-up period for Cohort 1 subjects
only.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Female subject eligible to participate if she is not pregnant and at least one of the
following conditions applies:

study period, and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.

study period, and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.

potential must agree to use contraception during the treatment period and for at least
6 months after the final study drug administration.

study period, and for 6 months after the final study drug administration.

abstinent or use a condom for the duration of the pregnancy or time partner is
breastfeeding throughout the study period and for 6 months after the final study drug
administration.

- Subject has radiographically-confirmed, locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic
disease within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment

- Subject has measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 within 28 days prior to the
first dose of study treatment. For subjects with only 1 measurable lesion and prior
radiotherapy, the lesion must be outside the field of prior radiotherapy or must have
documented progression following radiation therapy.

- Subject's tumor sample has CLDN18.2 expression (defined as moderate to strong
membranous staining by central IHC testing) as follows:

- Cohorts 1A and 2: CLDN18.2 high expression (≥ 75% of tumor cells)

- Cohort 1B: CLDN18.2 high or intermediate expression (≥ 50% of tumor cells)

- Cohorts 1A and 1B Only:

- Subject has disease progression on or after at least 2 prior regimens for their
advanced disease, including fluoropyrimidine and platinum-containing
chemotherapy, and if appropriate, HER2/neu-targeted therapy.

- Cohort 2 Only:

- Subject has not received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy for their advanced
disease (subject may have received neoadjuvant and/or fluorouracil-containing
adjuvant chemotherapy as long as it has been completed ≥ 6 months before the
first dose of study treatment).

- Subject has a gastric or GEJ tumor that is HER2-negative as determined by local
or central testing.

- Cohorts 1A and 2:

- Subject must have an additional available tumor specimen collected within 3
months prior to the first dose of study treatment.

- Subject is an appropriate candidate for a tumor biopsy and is amenable to undergo
a tumor biopsy during the screening period (if applicable) and treatment period.

- Subject agrees not to participate in another interventional study while on treatment.

- Subject has ECOG performance status 0 to 1.

- Subject has predicted life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.

- Subject must meet all of the following criteria on the laboratory tests that will be
analyzed centrally within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. In case
of multiple laboratory data within this period, the most recent data should be used.

- Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL (no transfusion within 7 days of start of study
treatment)

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L

- Platelets ≥ 100 x 10^9/L

- Albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL

component of study treatment.

- Subject has received other investigational agents or devices concurrently or within 28
days prior to first dose of study treatment.
