Just doing a bit more reading here. Avelumab failed its Phase 3 trial in gastric cancer: "Treatment of patients with GC/GEJC with single-agent avelumab in the third-line setting did not result in an improvement in OS or PFS compared with chemotherapy."

In addition Keytruda also recently "failed to meet its post-marketing requirement of demonstrating an overall survival benefit in a Phase 3 study."

Advanced gastric cancer is hard to treat and has dismal outcomes, which is why the Her-vaxx data so far is highly encouraging. Clearly Merck and Pfizer are hoping that the combo of Her-vaxx with Avelumab will be effective. If so, that opens the gastric cancer Markey for Avelumab - if used in combination with Her-vaxx.
It would also be highly indicative of the potential for combination with Keytruda.
Cheers
Dave
