Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) announced positive topline results from its Phase 3 FORTITUDE-101 clinical trial for bemarituzumab in gastric cancer treatment. The trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS) when combining bemarituzumab with chemotherapy compared to placebo plus chemotherapy.
The study focused on patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer with FGFR2b overexpression and non-HER2 positive status. This breakthrough is particularly significant given that gastric cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with nearly one million new cases and over 650,000 deaths annually.
The most common treatment-emergent adverse events included reduced visual acuity, punctate keratitis, anemia, neutropenia, nausea, corneal epithelium defect, and dry eye. Notably, ocular events occurred with greater frequency and severity in the bemarituzumab arm compared to the Phase 2 experience. A separate Phase 3 study combining bemarituzumab with chemotherapy and nivolumab is ongoing, with results expected in H2 2025.
