Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that addition of cetuximab to 1st-line treatment with capecitabine (Xeloda, X) and cisplatin (P) \[XP\] chemotherapy regimen has a clinically relevant benefit for subjects with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma including gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma, in terms of progression free survival (PFS).

Secondary objectives are to assess cetuximab plus XP versus XP alone with respect to overall survival, overall tumor response, quality of life (QoL) and safety.

Capecitabine

Intervention Type DRUG

Capecitabine 1000 mg/m\^2 will be administered orally twice daily from evening of Day 1 to morning of Day 15 for every 3-week treatment cycle, until documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.

Cisplatin

Intervention Type DRUG

Cisplatin 80 mg/m\^2 will be administered intravenously with infusion over 1 to 4 hours on Day 1 of each 3-week treatment cycle, until documented disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.
