Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2, signal generating, open-label, 2-Arm, non-randomized study, in patients with metastatic HER2/neu over-expressing gastric cancer or gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas.

Detailed Description

It is hypothesized that the introduction of HER-Vaxx after 1L treatment in patients that have progressed under trastuzumab may overcome potential resistance against trastuzumab in combination with che...
