Gilead Sciences Inc. and Arcus Biosciences announced the discontinuation of the Phase 3 STAR-221 study, which evaluated the anti-TIGIT antibody domvanalimab in combination with the anti-PD-1 antibody zimberelimab and chemotherapy versus nivolumab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for HER2-negative advanced gastric and esophageal cancers. The decision follows a recommendation from the Independent Data Monitoring Committee after a pre-specified interim analysis indicated that the domvanalimab combination did not improve overall survival compared to the current standard of care. The safety profile was consistent between both treatment arms, with no new safety findings. Results from a detailed analysis of the study will be published in the future. Domvanalimab and zimberelimab are investigational and have not received regulatory approval for any use.
