Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pembrolizumab (MK-3745) in the neoadjuvant (prior to surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) treatment of previously untreated adults with gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma.

The primary study hypotheses are that:

• Neoadjuvant and adjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, followed by adjuvant pembrolizumab is superior to neoadjuvant and adjuvant placebo plus chemotherapy, followed by adjuvant placebo in terms of Event-free Survival (EFS) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), and
• Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is superior to neoadjuvant placebo plus chemotherapy in terms of rate of Pathological Complete Response (pathCR) at the time of surgery.

   EFS is based on RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator and is defined as the time from randomization to the first of the following events: radiographic disease progression per RECIST 1.1; local or distant recurrence as assessed by computer tomography (CT) scan or biopsy if indicated (for participants who are disease free after surgery); clinical progression as evidenced by peritoneal carcinomatosis confirmed by preoperative laparoscopy or laparotomy (for participants who are confirmed to be free of peritoneal involvement by laparoscopy at screening); or death due to any cause. A second primary malignancy, or radiographic progressive disease (PD) during the neoadjuvant phase that does not preclude successful surgery (i.e., disease free after surgery), are not considered EFS events.
2. Pathological Complete Response (pathCR) Rate - Pembrolizumab+Chemotherapy and Placebo+Chemotherapy Treatment Arms [ Time Frame: Up to 6 weeks after completion of 3 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment (Up to 15 weeks) ]
   PathCR rate is defined as the percentage of participants having a pathCR. pathCR is defined as no invasive disease within an entirely submitted and evaluated gross lesion, and histologically negative nodes.
3. Percentage of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs) - Pembrolizumab+FLOT and Placebo+FLOT Cohorts [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 27 months ]
   An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants who experience at least one AE will be presented.
4. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE) - Pembrolizumab+FLOT and Placebo+FLOT Cohorts [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
   An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be presented.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Percentage of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs) - Pembrolizumab+Chemotherapy and Placebo+Chemotherapy Treatment Arms Separately and in Combination with the Pembrolizumab+FLOT and Placebo+FLOT Cohorts [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 27 months ]
   An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants who experience at least one AE will be presented.
2. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE) - Pembrolizumab+Chemotherapy and Placebo+Chemotherapy Treatment Arms Separately and in Combination with the Pembrolizumab+FLOT and Placebo+FLOT Cohorts [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
   An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be presented.
3. Overall Survival (OS) - Pembrolizumab+Chemotherapy and Placebo+Chemotherapy Treatment Arms [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
   OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
4. Disease-free Survival (DFS) Per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) - Pembrolizumab+Chemotherapy and Placebo+Chemotherapy Treatment Arms [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
   DFS is defined as the time from post-surgery baseline scan until the first occurrence of local/distant recurrence or death from any cause and is based on RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator.
5. Overall Survival (OS) - Pembrolizumab+Chemotherapy and Placebo+Chemotherapy Treatment Arms and Pembrolizumab+FLOT and Placebo+FLOT Cohorts [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
   OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
6. Event-free Survival (EFS) Per Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) - Pembrolizumab+Chemotherapy and Placebo+Chemotherapy Treatment Arms and Pembrolizumab+FLOT and Placebo+FLOT Cohorts [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 2 years ]
   EFS is based on RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator and is defined as the time from randomization to the first of the following events: radiographic disease progression per RECIST 1.1; local or distant recurrence as assessed by CT scan or biopsy if indicated (for participants who are disease free after surgery); clinical progression as evidenced by peritoneal carcinomatosis confirmed by preoperative laparoscopy or laparotomy (for participants who are confirmed to be free of peritoneal involvement by laparoscopy at screening); or death due to any cause. A second primary malignancy, or radiographic progressive disease (PD) during the neoadjuvant phase that does not preclude successful surgery (i.e., disease free after surgery), are not considered EFS events.
