Part 2 of KN026-001 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study. Patients with HER2-positive GC (including GEJ) who had previously received and failed at least first line standard treatment were enrolled and randomized 1: 1 to receive either KN026 in combination with chemotherapy or placebo in combination with chemotherapy.
