What this phase means
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Rilvegostomig, Trastuzumab deruxtecan, or Trastuzumab. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This is a Phase Ⅲ, randomly assigned, open-label, Sponsor-blinded, 3-arm, global, multicenter study assessing the how well it works and safety of rilvegostomig in combination with fluoropyrimidine and T-DXd (Arm A) compared to trastuzumab, chemotherapy, and pembrolizumab (Arm B) in HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma participants whose tumors express PD L1 CPS ≥ 1.
They plan to enroll about 840 people at 259 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
