- HERIZON-GEA-01
- Announced Date:
- May 27, 2026
- Indication:
- Advanced or Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma
Announcement
Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc announced that the New England Journal of Medicine has published the Phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 trial results, further characterizing the efficacy and safety profile of Ziihera® (zanidatamab-hrii) in combination with chemotherapy, with and without the PD-1 inhibitor Tevimbra® (tislelizumab), as first-line treatment for adults with HER2-positive (HER2+) locally advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), including cancers of the stomach, gastroesophageal junction, and esophagus.
AI Summary
Jazz Pharmaceuticals said the New England Journal of Medicine published results from the Phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 study, adding more evidence on Ziihera® (zanidatamab-hrii) used with chemotherapy, with or without the PD-1 inhibitor Tevimbra® (tislelizumab), as a first-line treatment for adults with HER2-positive advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The new analyses showed the treatment effects were consistent across patient subgroups and remained durable over time. Additional data also suggested better clinical outcomes with zanidatamab-containing regimens regardless of PD-L1 expression, including in PD-L1-negative patients.
Expanded safety analyses matched the known safety profiles of the drugs, with gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea usually appearing early, lasting a limited time, and rarely causing patients to stop HER2-targeted treatment. Analyses of later cancer treatments showed more use of immune checkpoint inhibitors and HER2-targeted drugs in the trastuzumab-plus-chemotherapy group, likely because more patients there had disease progression. Jazz has also submitted the data to NCCN for guideline review.
