A Study of JNJ-89402638 for Metastatic Colorectal and Gastric Cancers
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to determine the putative recommended phase 2 dose(s) (RP2Ds) and best way to take (optimal route of administration) JNJ-89402638 and to determine the safety of JNJ-89402638 at the RP2D(s) in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and metastatic gastric cancer (mGAC) and to determine the safety and how well patients handle the treatment of JNJ-89402638 in combination with bevacizumab or biosimilar with or without chemotherapy in participants with mCRC.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- For Part 1 (dose escalation), Part 2 (Arm A \[JNJ-89402638 monotherapy\]): Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) progressing after 2 or more prior lines of standard therapy in the metastatic/unresectable setting; For Part 2 Arm B (JNJ-89402638 + bevacizumab or biosimilar): Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of CRC progressing after 2 or more prior lines of standard therapy in the metastatic/unresectable setting; For Part 2 Arm C (JNJ-89402638 + FOLFOX/bevacizumab or biosimilar): Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of microsatellite stable (MSS) or proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) CRC progressing after 1 or more prior lines of standard therapy in the metastatic/unresectable setting. Participants must have previously received a fluoropyrimidine and irinotecan doublet (such as FOLFIRI); For Part 2 Arm D (JNJ-89402638 + FOLFIRI/bevacizumab or biosimilar): Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of MSS or pMMR CRC progressing after 1 prior line of standard therapy in the metastatic/unresectable setting. Must not have received irinotecan previously for metastatic disease; For Part 2 Arm E (JNJ-89402638 monotherapy in mGAC): Have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma progressing after 1 or more prior lines of standard therapy in the metastatic/unresectable setting
- Have evaluable or measurable disease per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
- Part 1: Must have either measurable or evaluable disease
- Part 2: Must have at least 1 measurable lesion
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1
- Have an estimated or measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) greater than or equal to (\>=) 30 milliliter per minute (mL/min) based on modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) 4-variable formula
Exclusion criteria
- Active (new or progressive) brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, or untreated spinal cord compression
- Toxicity from prior anticancer therapy that has not resolved to Grade less than or equal to (\<=)1 (except alopecia, vitiligo, Grade \<= 2 peripheral neuropathy, or endocrinopathies that are stable on hormone replacement). For Part 2 Arm C: Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy is considered exclusionary
- Has a prior or concurrent second malignancy (other than the disease under study) unless natural history or treatment is unlikely to interfere with any study endpoints of safety or the efficacy of the study treatment
- Received glucocorticoids (doses \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug
- Received or plans to receive any live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment or within 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
